I have known Allen for a long, long
time. Long enough that it makes me
feel old just thinking about it. I
have known him since I was twelve or
thirteen years old, or maybe even
younger. This one time in high school
we decided that we were going to do
some grafitti in order to release our
artistic juices. We didn't know what
we wanted to paint, just where we
wanted to put it. So we got some
green and white paint (those colors
were the least expensive for the
longest lasting) and decided to paint
the turtle from a Turtle Wax
container. So now, because of Allen
and myself, there is a big turtle with
the words "turtle wax" under a bridge
on Interstate 40 in North Carolina
between exits 273 and 270 on the right
side as you are heading west. Pretty
random, huh?
Knowing Allen has improved the
quality of my life. He designed a Web
site for my company --
www.watchableweddings.com --
gripped for a commercial shoot, built
a set for a short film, taught me the
wonders of Sunday soccer at
Prospect Park, gave me a fish
steamer, gave me a Cleveland
steamer, got me to stop huffing
gasoline, and talked me through a
really humiliating bedwetting phase.
Thanks Allen.
What's not to love about a skateboarder
who likes teddy bears? Well, there the
drug problem, and the Steely Dan, and
the aversion to personal hygiene, but
nobody's perfect. And he cooks a good
pecan pie.
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'; We're gonna'

go, and a short time to get there; I'm east bound just
