I don't think I'm a liar when I tell people where I'm from and give them details about my story.

But if all the people I've ever met around the world who have had conversations like that

with ever compared notes, they might think I was a liar if they didn't have all the details.

Here's what I mean.

When I'm traveling and I meet somebody on a bus in the UK

and they're like, oh, well, we're from Iowa.

Like, what? I grew up in Iowa, which is completely true. I lived

in Cherokee, Iowa, and Macocca, Iowa up until I was in fourth grade. So I grew up in Iowa, but that isn't all of my growing up. And so if I run

into somebody on a plane in Dubai which happened one time who's from Greeley

Colorado, I'm like, what? I grew up in Northern Colorado, which is

completely true. I lived in Fort Collins, I lived in Alt Colorado. I wasn't lying to either of these groups of people if I run into

somebody in another part of my own country and they're like well you know I've

never really been west of the Mississippi and I'm from Connecticut.

Where are you from? I would say I'm from around Jackson, Wyoming, or I live near Yellowstone National Park.

Well, because they can picture where those things are,

but there's no way they're gonna know

the town that I lived in for nine years.

It's called Lander, Wyoming.

Why would I even try that?

So if all these people did get together and compared notes, they might be like,

wait a minute, this guy's just making stuff up left and right, but if I were there to fill in all the

gaps, it would be really easy for me to say,
