i was born in a log cabin in brooklyn. i read books by flashlight because candles weren't invented. i used to listen to jack armstrong, the shadow, and terry and the pirates on a crystal radio. i listened to classical music and dixie on a windup phonograph and had to use the same needle for years because we were too poor to buy a new needle. i would have used a paperclip, but alas, they weren't invented yet.
my grandmother saved me from dying by mixing potions,
medicines had not been discovered yet.
i completed high school and during my secnd year in college, i enlisted in the USAF, s/n AF12423637.
when my four years of active duty were up and i was released, my honorable discharge came at the end of my 4 years of inactive duty, i was busted several times for insubordination, but never court martialed, i worked on an assembly line for 75 cents an hour.
i drove my little mg tf with a chipped idle gear and a chipped first gear, across the country on route 66 to get to california so i could get a job working on a rocket test stand as a jr engineer for $1.00 an hour + time and a half for overtime and double time on sunday's.
i decided to go on my own and became a fuller brush man, making more then i was paid at rocketdyne.
on my route i met toby who i have been married to for 41 years.
together we raised, 2 sons, without religious or political indoctrination. they never used dope, never been arrested, and are both happily married to nice wives.
both are self employed and do not require government assistance.
we all like each other, love is such a cliche, i don't use it. and toby and their wives do things together as friends.
bradley and his wife have chosen a mystic religeon that i do not understand, but it makes them happy and content.
ross married a newly born again christian, who doesn't understand his ability to do the right thing, and maintain a moral life without religeon, but she accepts him as a good person.
what have you done with your life?
