I've started an ambitious and decidedly strange project. I’ve had a lot of weird things happen in my life. Some are really crazy, most more mundane, but a steady accumulation of odd things that sometimes make for interesting stories. And I am, above all, a storyteller. I'm also of an age where if I don't tell these stories now my personal library will burn down without them ever being shared. So, I'm going to attempt to recount all the weird things that have ever happened to me, told in roughly chronological order—or as close to that as I can remember.
Some of these stories have been told before in other venues, some have not. Some are funny, some are not. We'll see if they’re as interesting to others as they are to me and my friends. Where possible I'll relate them to a larger cultural context, using research into psychology, the paranormal, science, history or whatever else seems relevant. That means, thankfully, this will not be exclusively about me—because I am far from endlessly fascinating. I may invite others to tell their own weird stories, either directly or (if they're too shy) through me. That is, of course, dependent on whether others are as willing as I to make public confessions. I'm relatively sure others have similar stories, many of them much more interesting. If anyone reading this would like to share, please contact me.
Will anyone read this series? I haven't got a clue. It's just something I feel the need to do even if I'm speaking in an echo chamber. Because, as I’ve said before, time is not infinite.
