Now I know many of my family and friends are sniggering away following a cry of “Duh!” or “Just one?” and that’s okay with me. I also know that Mental Illness is not something to laugh about, but mine kind of is. At least I think it’s funny and that’s pretty much half the battle right there. My mental illness is OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder).

So taking that into consideration, I don’t mind being confused with a celebrity who is generally loved all around the world.” But before my hair and beard was quite this long, whenever I traveled to Jamaica or Cuba I was most often called “Hemmingway” . That Ernest Hemmingway is one of my favourite writers was a happy coincidence although I was fully aware the reference had everything to do with my appearance and nothing to do with my writing skills. I was also not naive enough to know that the staff of the resorts we stayed at would use tactics such as this in the hopes of procuring generous tips. But when the recognition often also came from fellow travelers and
