I think the third one is a lie, or maybe just wishful thinking.

Here are mine:

I was just broken up with by a dying woman via her sister, because the kid doesn't want to see me and that "precludes you being a partner"
I'm listening now to cheesy Music Choice stations on cable, hooked up to better speakers
I'm reading at a theater next week with a filmmaker and two other performers I don't know

And here I was thinking Island Scout would NEVER listen to a cheesy muzak station on her good speakers!

My three, dysfunctional family edition:

*My great grandfather killed his lover and then himself in a double suicide pact.

*My sister was arrested for drunk and disorderly after mooning Yankees fan at the old Yankees stadium (she's a Red Sox fan).

*My biological father was the subject of an international manhunt.

No, that one was true, sadly. It was in the 20s just before the stock market crash and a very real, very tragic trend. I found newspaper articles documenting 3 other double suicide pacts in the Schenectady area when I was researching my great grandfather's case.

My lie was that my sister was arrested for drunk and disorderly after mooning Yankees fans in Yankees stadium.
She did actually do that but wasn't arrested, just thrown out of the park.

Really tragic. :-(
