Backstory

Petunia & Dre, is completely autobiographical. Almost verbatim.

My son was born in Haiti. Two months after he came home, a 7.0 earthquake killed over 300,000 Haitians on January 12, 2010.

My son is a teenager now, and everything about me annoys him. Especially when I love him, or like him, or look at him.

He loves water polo, music, drumming, and two-stroke engines.

I love swimming with the Rose Bowl Masters Team and pole dancing classes. I don’t have a compelling photo of swimming.

We have two dogs named The Captain and Leroy. They are poorly trained. They annoy people holding food or alcohol.
