Who is Cal Evans. Age 6: The Humpty-Clause. Calâ s First Law of Nature:. Mothers are the most precious of all the natural resources we have. I canâ t recall many memories of my childhood that my mother was not a part of. In some way, shape, form or fashion, Mom was always there, the ever-present guardian of beauty, truth and wisdom. My birthday, being in December, usually has somewhat of a Christmas theme. Usually itâ s not overt, but letâ s face it, that time of the year, where do you find anything ...

Who is Cal Evans. Age 9: …and God Spoke. Each week, during choir rehearsals, Deacon’s meetings, and other non-worship times at the church, I would find myself inevitably drawn up into the balcony to play among the chairs. Great cities rose and fell amongst the aisles of chairs when I and my small collection of cars would arrive. It was my imaginary playground. My mind chose not to record what happened that afternoon. I’m sure that with years of therapy and hypnosis, we could pull it out but why? Age 20: ...

Who is Cal Evans. Age 12: Nightmare on SW 167 Terrace. Punishments when I was growing up were an experience in my family. We had the normal wrist-slaps, “washing-your-mouth-out-with-soap” and the parental favorite, the “butt-blistering.” But those were usually reserved for those special occasions when Dad had â had enough.â Everyday punishments were metered out by Mom. My memory is fading now but if I remember it correctly, the sentence handed down prescribed the following routine. Every day for a week, ...

Who is Cal Evans. Age 17: The Surprise Party. Sundays were always an event in our house. Each Sunday morning was a variation on a theme; get up, wander into the kitchen for breakfast, be told that you got up too late for breakfast, whine about not getting breakfast, stop whining a second before Dad walked into earshot, slink back to your room and ready for church. So it went, every Sunday morning. It was a regular smack-down and I was in the cage swinging a folding chair! My mother is a lot of things, sh...
