NPR’s “Talk of the Nation” recently featured a really cool book filled with six-word accounts of people’s lives.

“Not Quite What I Was Planning” was conceived by Smith, an online magazine, and contains the ever-so-brief memoirs of writers, musicians, artists and some everyday folks. Some names you’ll recognize, some you won’t, but the entries are fascinating.

This from a 27-year-old who just got dumped: I still make coffee for two. And from Joyce Carol Oates: Revenge is living well, without you. Stephen Colbert chimes in: Well, I thought it was funny.

What would your six words be?  How about six words for our local celebs or public officials?
