I believe I've been asked to take the floor. I've never been to one,but I think they start out AAA meetings like that. So, here I am. Born, Berkeley,Ca.circa 1951. Alta Bates Hospital. Told I weighed 9 pounds.Youngest of 4. No college,though I did college prep like everyone I knew.Silly.To have education defined in such a cruel, elitist way. Not to mention the waste of human potential. It's enough to make one weep. Ahhh! My childhood [from 8 to 18 ] Berkeley was safe as hous....Well,it was safe. The bus system had to have been designed by an ex-patriot fascist Italian. But as older teenager's we were free. There was no pager. Or,horror of horrors, a cell phone. I digress. After all that talk of. "Whatca gonna do when we graduate?" I ended up a plumber! I never was able to formulate in my head what was my love Sound familiar? So I just stumbled into life. Stumbled into the Army,marriage,kids,divorce,poverty and discovery. I like a mechanical challenge! To gnaw on a conception that has real time effect. I happen to become bombastic and a control freak but also....What am I saying? Passive/Aggressive. Most important!! CURIOSITY
there is nothing wrong with stumbling through life it has never let me down thus far welcome to hipforums
