That one suggested tossing the wallet onto the ground a few feet from you and the robber and then running the opposite direction. They have to crouch to get the wallet, and that gives you a chance to put some distance between yourself and them and their weapon, if they have one. Another favorite fact I often bring up in my novels is how difficult it is for someone to hit a target with a handgun when they are under stress. Some statistics show that if you can get 10 feet away, you have a better than even chance of them missing. And many shots that hit you would be non-fatal.

Still hoping for a day when people can walk where they want without fear.

I saw a band recently on a whim at a little tavern in the hip side of my city. It had been a while since I saw some live music and I was pumped about it. I had never heard of the band before but I am usually optimistic (about many things). Turned out to be some guys that bit Oasis and The Strokes,... poorly. It was sad watching the crowd not respond to them at all. I could tell the musicians had talent and found myself wishing I could talk them into coming up with personal music, that might actually connect to someone in the room instead of copying a style, trying to connect to everyone in the room, but actually connecting to no one. On a different note: This makes me want to read your next novel Bryan. How's it coming? How true. I saw a band recently on a whim at a little tavern in the hip side of my city.

One of the great things about becoming an adult is eventually discovering that if you live as yourself, without hiding or being pushy, there are probably some people out there that will like the person you actually are. And some won't, and that's okay. I think this applies to the rest of life as well as art.
