Session 1

On July 4, Steve and I sat down in the backyard of his North Park neighborhood house, where he’s growing a small patch of corn, tomatoes and pumpkins. He took a break from buying groceries and moving furniture, planning for a birthday party for him and his girlfriend that would take place the next day. He’d recently built a bench out of 2x6s and cinder blocks. “This is where the beer pong table will go,” he said, pointing out a plot of grass. The last time I’d seen the game played was at his apartment in Las Cruces, NM, where we both went to grad school a few years ago.

Steve is the first one to leap off the high dive and into the Lively Words pool. Thanks, Steve.
