Corey found an article in the AARP magazine ( yes, we are card carrying members now) that said that someone once challenged Ernest Hemingway to write a story in six words.
He came back with the following story: For Sale, Baby Shoes, Never Worn.
Wow - to pack all the possibilities in just six words! AARP is publishing six word stories based on themes and we are attempting to write some. The first theme was enduring love and friendship.
My attempt: We still fit together like spoons.
Theme #2: Holiday Traditions.
My attempt: In Iraq, no trees to trim.
I would love to see your six word stories!

Lots of moves, finally back home.
My 6 word memoir is much less romantic than yours:
Escaped from performing. Redefined, produced. Playing!
