Don't Mind Me is a collection of the columns Terry Hargrove has written for the Pictorial Gazette, a Connecticut newspaper. In them, he discusses the problems of being an old dad, the unusual animals he has met/fought/runaway from, the family members who were like the animals only wilder, and his childhood that ended when he was 17 and again at 28. Terry Hargrove is the fourth of seven children, born and raised in Lewisburg, Tennessee. He grew up across the street from the Marshall County Public Library, and has had a love affair with books ever since. After 23 years teaching reading and English in his home state, he followed the path to Connecticut just like his favorite author, Mark Twain. And just like Mark Twain, he is losing all his money.
