Six-word memoirs

By Brenda Tremblay ~ Posted Mon, 02/11/2008 - 4:25pm

Try to sum up your life in six words.

A new book, “Not Quite What I Was Planning," presents some of the best six-word memoirs culled from Smith magazine. You may have heard Neal Conan talking about this book on WXXI/NPR’s Talk of the Nation. Some of these are quite funny.

I made up a few fictitious memoirs.

“Secret to life: wine, women, song.” - Luciano Pavarotti
“Born in Churchville: conquered the world.” – Renee Fleming
“Got kicked out of the Met.” – Kathleen Battle
“Short man has the last laugh.” - Ludwig van Beethoven.

Here’s mine.

“Five speeding tickets. I slowed down.” - Brenda Tremblay

What’s yours?
