Sy/Introduction

"Effington could be a wonderful effing place. I can see it from the highway. And I'm wondering. Are they effing in their yards, effing in their cars, effing in the trailers and the back roads and the parking lots of Effington? Making my way to Normal, Illinois. Maybe I should ditch this little white rental on the interstate. And start a new effing life. In Effington. I could change my name, grow a beard, start a family. Or I could keep moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on. And not stop 'til I get to Normal. I want to live in Effington. I want to die there, too. Please bury me in Effington. In Effington. In Effington." - Ben Folds, Effington
