EPISODE 3
Like most, Lindsay started out small.
That's some mighty fine writing.
He was born the seventh child—Lucky Number 7, with three sisters + three brothers.
But everything wasn’t as it seemed. Simmering just below the surface--
What surface?
—the surface. Anyway, simmering just below the surface, lay a deep dark family secret.
What secret?
For now, merely a secret.
Fortunately, his secretive family fed him, and he grew. Lindsay grew into a devastatingly handsome man + an extraordinary athlete.
Who wrote this, Lindsay?
Yes. He did once beat David Duchovney at two-on-two basketball.
Interesting.

He, in all likelihood, was the only one-seeing-eyed quarterback to become a university quarterback.
I heard he memorized the eye chart to keep his disability from his coaches.
Yes. He did. For Lindsay, it wasn’t a disability; he was born that way.
Lindsay threw the longest pass in Canadian Junior History—a 108-yard-touchdown pass.

Being the seventh born was rife with challenges.
“HEY, LOOK AT ME.”
Nobody looked.
“HEY, I’M OVER HERE.”
“We’re tired. Maybe later.”
Lindsay floundered (he prefers sauntered) through life failing (he prefers trying different things).
His career path ranged from dishwasher to shipper & receiver to hair product huckster to night security to construction worker to sales (various) to hair model, to bartender to bouncer to landscaper to, did I say hair model (?) to driver to DJ to bar manager to hotel manager to almost-nude-model to humourist + comic to opinion editorialist to human resources guru (snippets from that career may be in the 60 section) to an author.
Wow. Scattered.
Lindsay prefers rounded.

A less than rosy upbringing instilled a touch of insanity in Lindsay + a razor-sharp wit. They, bleeping They, say funny comes from pain. Let’s just say, Lindsay’s hilarious.
Who says stuff like that, Lindsay?
Yes.
Unflinching pain also blessed Lindsay with the gift of the storytelling gab. So, he started writing and writing and writing.
His first book Seed’s Sketchy Relationships (how not to become a bar regular) landed him a small following and eventually a gig writing Opinion Pieces for a major newspaper.
Cool.
However, life kept rolling on, anchorless, Lindsay, kept looking, and then WHAM—the family secret unravelled in front of Lindsay’s one functioning eye.
What’s the secret?
I’m not going to spoil it for you, you can read all about it in his second book.

"genuinely extraordinary"
A 43-YEAR OLD MAN, going through the mundane day-to-day realities of life, has his life turned upside down when he accidentally uncovers a dark family secret while renewing his passport. His parents he watched die were not his birth parents. The revelation eviscerates his core causing him to dive into his past in search of his identity. His journey is teeming with debilitating darkness, light-filled discoveries, and is littered with a horde of colourful characters, including David Duchovny, Michael Chiklis, and the Dali Lama.
A secret baby boy. Born in a secret place.
The shame of family, community, and religion.
A secret meant to be taken to the grave.
Until, he accidentally discovers, his parents he watched die, weren't his real parents.

"Most of the time, my heart, beat, like it was trying to escape my ribcage, and not just because of
the copious amounts of caffeine I imbibed while plowing through this memoir.
I think its consumption just set the proper physical stage for the reading of this wild ride.
I literally could not stop.
I was compelled to keep reading and reading and reading and experiencing this life.
I was jittery; I felt greasy and dirty; I needed a shower; i could not stop reading."
"Sometimes, it is just nice to know that everyone struggles and you're not crazy."
"This book is jam-packed with drugs, drinking, meaningless sex, sorrow, pain and heartache,
yet; also love, compassion, and kindness for others."

Wow sounds great. It’s impressive Lindsay found the fortitude to write his memoir.
Yeah, some would say cathartic. Lindsay doesn’t really like that word, nor does he believe in closure. He does believe in the vital importance of sharing our stories with each other.
So, he keeps writing and writing and writing and writing, because he likes to share.
Being creative is a curse. Lindsay is reworking “Driving in Reverse”—it is morphing into “Breathe” (coming soon).

WRITER MAGAZINE SAID
Our favorite part of this story was its high stakes. Penelope's life is an exceedingly difficult one. We applaud the writer for having the courage to write about such serious subjects. We also thought the opening lines were particularly well-suited to draw us into the story, especially the sentence “The kind of years where she became the chalkboard with kid-after-kid lining up to drag their fingernails across her fragile being.”
A 60-YEAR-OLD MAN RUNNING IN FLIP FLOPS (STORIES) (SERIES)
A writer nearing age 60, late to pick up a friend from work—forgets his car keys and starts running home to retrieve them, he starts laughing because he is a man nearing 60 running in flip flops. He pauses. He thinks. It’s time to mesh his non-fictitious absurdities with the fiction rattling around in his mind in a series of essays and stories, many of which would leave Kafka shaking his head (in the grave – the only impossible possibility).

A writer’s gotta eat.
Wow. Profound.

MUSIC
Lindsay’s love of music led him to become the NUMBER ONE MIXED TAPE DJ at the University of Saskatchewan (1981-1988). Seriously. The only country songs he played were “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” and some ditty about it being 40 below + a heater in a truck + going to some rodeo + Alabama bouncing right and left.

Let that sink in. NUMBER ONE IN SASKATCHEWAN – no country music. Courageous.

And, atmospheric tunes, tell them, tell them, tell them.

Enjoy!

Lindsay resides in Vancouver with Bubby + their adorable cat Hana.
Lindsay gave almost fourteen years of his life to a company that used COVID-19 as an excuse to end his employment.
Sad.
