A few things nearly forgotten:

1974 - Playtime all the time.
1976 - BiCentennial parades, cotton candy, scent of beach fires and cherry bombs.
1979 - Mischief and sneaking with older cousins into private school yard to execute somersaults on rickety trampoline where we laughed and said the word 'bummer' all the time.
1982 - 5th grade in a 1920s highschool with J.Giels, brown corduroy jackets, 'Farrari' sunglasses, rolling stone lips drawn on brown bag book covers and a view of my grandparent's backyard from Miss Rominick's window.
1986 - Smoking grass w/ mv in the outfield while playing softball during gym class.
1990 - The shredded graduation gown, tequila and the partying on the beach and the partying in the woods beneath giant boulders and all the faces not seen since.
1992 - Iron fire escape and spring evening cigarettes with A. & Chrystler building.
1998 - Having neither job nor prospects.
2003 - Yesterday.
