“I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.’’
— Kurt Vonnegut
When I was born 70 years ago, I slept in a drawer in my grandmother’s kitchen.
I’ve lived on the edge ever since.
Sixteen years ago in Australia, where The Denver Post had sent me to cover the Summer Olympics, I chose to travel by planes, car and foot almost a thousand miles to the Outback and the setting for the “Mad Max’’ movies.
