Sonny you and I had the same agenda back then! 68-69 were good years for me to learn a lot of bad habits. Judy, I didn't know you went to Drake. I spent most of my life in Des Moines. My late wife got her MFA at Drake in '78. My current wife Elaine went to grad school there 4 years ago. Small world isn't it?

Seriously, I was married, working, we had our first son.
I guess 64 makes me a geezer, however my personal definition is someone who can drive from their home to anywhere on the planet without ever shutting off their turn signal.

I was riding my Yamaha 100 Trailmaster all over San Diego. I didn't have a driver's license yet. My parents thought I just rode off road on the trails. Never got caught but had to outrun the cops a couple times.
