There is nothing like a road trip to offer you a brief bout of perspective on your life.
Especially when that road trip is to LA — the place where your childhood ended and your real life began.
And when you wrap up a piece about that long ago experience (with some help from a new friend, thank you very much for reading the schlock that lead up to the good part Joe Clifford) send it to a new magazine you really like and wish to support and they like it, too, enough to publish it in their second issue (thank you PoV!)
