Tractor

Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.

~ E. L. Doctorow

I was told that when I was a child, maybe three or four or five, that I started my grandfather's tractor and started driving it. I was told my father had to jump up on the tractor to stop it or else I was going to run over my grandfather. I may have written about that before, but it seems like an anecdote worth retelling.

I don't know if this story is true or not, but it sounds like me.
