I was just an ignorant bum who read a lot at libraries to stay out of the rain.

You know, mostly day labor jobs and flophouses.

And then, after years of hustling, I finally... I managed to...

to weasel my way into a job on the sports desk

of a local paper in northern California, which was a dream,

it's just, the only problem was, I didn't know how to write.

I mean, I could read okay, but to actually type out sentences and spelling

I didn't know anything.

In the newspaper business, this could be a problem.

Yeah, the city editor found it particularly amusing

when I spelled the word "maybe," M-A-B-E.

He called me a liar and then he fired me.
