“I was born and raised in what is now a poverty-stricken community that continues to suffer from the loss of heavy industry and restructuring of railroads.”
It seems we have a few things in common. Born in 1965. A son who is 27 (mine is 28) and older siblings who I did not necessarily grow up with. We became closer when I was in high school.
Yes, we do - and because I read your substack I know we also have navigating adult children, navigating figuring out who we are now, and It's taken my older siblings significantly longer to get it together.....
C. Elyse, I really enjoyed this peek at the person behind the pen! You are so good at giving tantalizing autobiographical tidbits while keeping some mystery intact. And Tim, great interview format. Love not only your questions but the entire three-day response concept.
Only sumpen bout ELYSE could make me read this long. And it was worth it. She is a Renaissance Woman who knows how to TAP-IN to shit from both sides of the Cultural Gap. And Im heah for it. Looking 4ward to the next drops of slop.

What a response!!! Versus… Anytown, USA
It’s not just any town, it once was extremely vibrant, it’s now a relic of what it was!.
🥲
Agree, it’s sad

“my big sister would call me protracted” 🧐
She did, all the time and would follow up with, “just say it!”
