In last week’s penultimate episode, Jimi convinced the ladies to go on a joyride around Lake Washington with him. They capped off the evening with a melancholy visit to one of Jimi’s childhood homes.
Now, in this season’s final episode, Jimi visits his old high school. The students at Garfield High in Seattle give him an idea for a new song. Will it be any good?
Enjoy the conclusion!

Chapter 9: Inland Waterways
Happy Sunday!
Last week, our heroes navigated the pitfalls of a local Seattle burger joint. Jimi forgot his wallet, Élise had to pay, and Saffronia explained to everybody about the Open Polar Sea and how to get there.
But now, Eunice B. Fremon has everybody piled back into that busted Chevy Bel-Air, high-tailing it outta that burger joint to avoid the autograph seekers. They’re hurtling outta the city, into the hinterlands, headlong into whatever is supposed to happen next…
Enjoy the ride,
Patrick

Chapter 8: Open Polar Sea
Hello,
Apologies for the delay in this week’s episode!
I got tied up with, um, I guess what’s called rebranding. What began a few years ago as a blog dedicated to ice hockey has gradually evolved into a podcast dedicated to serialized spoken word fiction.
Therefore, my publication is no longer called Anatomy of a Dive. Distortion of Disbelief is what it will be called now.
I hope you enjoy this week’s episode,
Patrick

Chapter 7: Freedom
Last week, Jimi and the ladies had to rush Saffronia to the hospital. Eunice B Fremon, in another one of her episodes, ran her over in the busted Chevy Bel-Air.
Saffronia turned the tables on all of them when she refused to go inside Harborview Hospital, citing her adversarial relationship with that establishment’s accounts receivable department.
This week’s Macguffin is more aligned with Saffronia’s wishes, and her budget. A bag of frozen peas from the local convenience store.
Check it out!

Chapter 6: Saffronia
In last week’s episode, we left Jimi and the ladies abruptly. Eunice B. Fremon had blown at high dough. Ran down an innocent bystander.
Saffronia
In this week’s episode Eunice and them deal with the consequences.

Chapter 5: Betty Jean
When we last saw Jimi and the ladies, Eunice B. Fremon was giving everyone a tour of his humble beginnings. Élise and Gloria stole off to do their thing. They must have inspired Jimi.
He made a pass at Eunice!
It didn’t work out the way he’d hoped. Now, she’s tear-assing away with them in the Bel-Air to who-knows-where, but she’s dead set on putting this boy’s mind right.

Chapter 4: Neighborhood House
When we last saw Jimi and the ladies, they were throwing a couple back at Sugar Ray’s, a dive bar in Seattle’s Main Stem. Jimi was regaling the ladies with stories of old school bluesmen from back in the day in the Mississippi Delta.
Now, Eunice B. Fremon’s is in the driver’s seat. She’s behind the wheel of that busted Chevy Bel-Air with Jimi right beside her while Gloria and Élise are doing whatever in the back. She’s hurtling down Yesler Terrace.
It’ll be a trip down memory lane for all of them.

Chapter 1: Waiting Around the Train Station
Hello,
This is the first chapter of an audio version of Getting My Heart Back Together, a work of serial fiction examining Jimi Hendrix and his contributions to the rich tapestry of our culture.
I hope you enjoy these. I’ll be trying to upload a new chapter every Sunday and Wednesday. However, I’m contending with a learning curve w/r/t voice recording. Apologies in advance for any delays!
Feel free to drop a comment regarding the story or the technical merits of the recording. I could definitely use some constructive criticism!
Thanks for taking the time to check this out,
Patrick
