a genius idea from my dad

At this very moment I am typing my dad is stuck in a snowstorm and horrible traffic on highway 35 somewhere in West Virginia.

Don't ask.

Anyway, while stuck in traffic he became really bored, so bored he ran out of important things to think about and began thinking about my memoir. My memoir has a lot of problems, including, as my dad mentioned to me while we were talking, that I am "not a sympathetic character that readers like". But then a genius idea came to him - write the memoir from the point of view of my zombie knee. He called me, shared his idea, and then challenged me to rewrite the prologue tonight and send it to him. So I'm going to give it the old college try.

...and not think about all the work that will be required to rewrite my entire book...I will definitely be leaving a lot of parts out.
