With news of The Impending Heir of All That Is Great in The World (Especially Me), Wifey Sweetbritches and I have been talking more than usual about our mutual family myths and legends. They can hold a family together, they can tear them asunder, but I believe the stories a family tells itself, and the stories a family tells the world, is at the core of what makes a family. It's the act of passing stories across generations that knits families together.
StoryCorps is an organization that helps preserve and pass along these stories. I recorded an interview with my brother back in 2006, so when I saw that one of their mobile recording booths is in Colorado I knew it was time to swap stories with Wifey for posterity. We did the standard 40 minute back and forth and made our charitable donation. I highly recommend the experience.
In the last five minutes, the session monitor asked us how we met, so, if you're interested, here's our Meet Cute story. Please do enjoy.
