the simi-true story
As the Jimmy Buffet songs said:
It’s a simi-true story, Believe it or not,
I made up a few things and there’s some I forgot,
But the life and the telling, are both real to me,
And they all run together, and turn out to be,
My simi-true Story!
The reason I am telling these stories is, that now that I am 75, there is not a day that goes by, that I don’t think of calling my parents to talk. I would like to tell them what is going on in my life, but I really would like to ask them about all the events in their life.
The stories that I am going to tell here are real to me and could deviate from the truth for only one reason — I have told these stories so many times over the years, and I may have added a small embellishment along the way. I have now have told the stories so many times — that I believe the story as told.
I am telling the truth as I remember it. It’s A simi-true Story.
