We were willing to discover as much as we could. It was the early Sixties...everyone was "questioning" the purpose of life.<br /><br />The music and lyrics of people like Dylan, Baez, Seeger, among others, surrounded us. We had much to be inquisitive about. Our minds were open; our minds were like sponges. We were eager to learn as much as we could about as much as we could.<br /><br />There's nothing more wholesome, I believe, than the beach and the ocean...a wonderful way to spend our weekends...surfing/swimming and getting a tan. :)<br /><br />Thanks for coming by. :)<br /><br />P.S. My life remains untainted by mobile phones.

I was anxious though about a career, health (I had a life threatening disease although I didn't know was until a few years ago that most people who have it die from it.), girls, religion and just about everything. Most of that left me in my early twenties and and during the last 10 years in most things (except timekeeping and manners) I've become so laid back I'm almost horizontal. Leastways that's how I see myself. Others may well have a different perspective!<br /><br />I never took to Brendan Behan or his works but was immersed in the Russian authors in my late teens and early twenties.<br /><br />Writing has never come easily to me and a career making sure that every word was not capable of being misunderstood (or deliberately being obtuse) has made writing spontaneously very difficult even now.
