My childhood mantra that my mom always said was fend for yourself. And yeah, we fucking did it. Yeah. Okay. My last one, this is called serendipitous half sister. It says approximately three minute, 45 second read at Georgia speed. Are you fast or slow? I don't know. I've got to be fast, according to my mom. Okay.

No, but I think after nine years, it's got to be pretty accurate. You know what I mean? I know.

Well, I read fast. So here we go. And this is live it right now. Happy New Year, y'all. A little late, but I parted a bit too hard to say it on time. You asked for crazy coincidence stories in your last hometown episode. So this is the story of my father's long lost half sister and how a random drunk guy from Texas got sober and reconnected the two of them.

It seemed like every vacation my family took, even states away, my father would run into someone he knew from long ago, be it a pool, campground, cracker barrel, or many times at AA meetings. Dad was like a magnet for that sort of thing. Maybe it had to do with the fact that AA is often astonishingly full of people you used to know. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. He was a masterful storyteller.

Dad never grew tired of sharing stories about running wild with mischief as a little boy in the streets of New York City during the Great Depression. And then it says, in parentheses, 1930s, as if I also don't fucking know when the Great Depression... I'm like a little, that's what you're talking about. I get it. I hear you. That hurts. That hurts. I know when that is.
