We thought we’d share this lovely story from back at our July REAL CHARACTERS show.
It’s told by Cathy Harding, a storyteller back to New York after years as a journalist in Charlottesville, Virginia, where she served as the editor in chief of the local alternative newsweekly. (She was also a champion arm wrestler in an all-women’s league and a storyteller with a collective called Secretly Y’All.) We just love this story—it’s funny, sad, vulnerable, charming—and were so glad she told it that night.
Enjoy!
