My writing obsession this week

Currently enamored with this template:

It started with _____ and ended with _____.

I would like to write a whole book of this business.

It started in Schenectady as I posed for my senior class picture and ended with the last royalty check paying my bar tab.

It started with an illiterate bricklayer escaping France to Canada before it was Canada and almost ended in a Kwik Trip parking lot where, sleep deprived and with a baby strapped to my chest, I struggled to operate a gas pump.

How would yours start and end?
