Chicken Fried Crazy: A Journal of Life in the South

This is the very personal journal of life for one Southern woman. This project began as an eight-page itemized list of my husband’s marital indiscretions and personal offenses, intended for use by the divorce lawyer to inflict vengeance against the drunken, soulless culprit. Instead, over a period of eight years it has mellowed into something more therapeutic and comprehensive, covering the much broader scope of life in general. Admittedly, my hostility has evolved into sadistic sarcasm. Laughter is definitely the best therapy! It is my hope that others will relate to my story on a personal, gut level, recognize the oncoming headlight as that of a train…and get the heck out of the way before it’s too late! The main character throughout most of my life was my ex-husband whom I will call Richard Head, Jr. There are also several other lusts and loves revealed. The names have been changed, “sanitized for your protection.” Please try not to judge me too harshly, as none of us is perfect. I’m working on self-improvement every day! ~Polly
