Yup. As a kid in boy scouts, the other kids were ok, but the
   parents? judgemental as hell. So, I created my imaginary father.
   I'd talk to him, he's talk back. He understood me. I vowed to
   become him. At 17 wrote a letter to my future self as I cried
   over lost childhood (I never lost it - I was wrong) - set to 42
   'cause - Douglas Adams. Last years I opened the letter. I became
   my own father.
