Just Robbed a Bank

The hardest thing to remember when you are a bank robber is that you still look like everybody else. The giant sign that says JUST ROBBED A BANK is not flashing over your head, it is IN your head.

This is a book of stories. Stories I lived before, during, and after becoming a bank robber. And make no mistake, even though I haven't robbed any banks for years, I am still a bank robber. Once I understood the flashing sign was in my head, not over it, it was going to be in my head forever. That's what being a bank robber taught me about the defining choices we make: They can't be unmade. But the most important choice I made wasn't choosing to be a bank robber. Being a bank robber just put me on the path to being everything I ever wanted to be, and more.

Because it taught me that I could choose.
