When you're in a land-locked state in the center of the country, there's not a lot you can ...

"My Irish grandfather, Thomas Lawrence Downey, was a great storyteller. I never tired of sitting on his knee - and later, when I was a bit too big, sitting at his feet with one of my baby sisters on his knee - listening to his wonderful tall tales.

But as any good storyteller knows, to embellish is to make the tale interesting, especially to a young Tomie."
