Once upon a time there was much storm. Out of the looming clouds came lightning & thunder, humidity & sweat, and later diapers and debt. BEFORE MYSPACE, BEFORE FACEBOOK, BEFORE TWITTER and even BEFORE PRODIGY... I forget what there was. Anyway, then this happened: Hospital, hand me down stuff, Star Wars toys, legos, hot wheels, matchbox, toy trains, big wheels, grade school, transformers based on diaclones, middle school, bicycles, little league, track, high school, work, college, work, college, more work, two rentals, more work, two homes, some women, some pets, some debts. Also there was occasionally sex and politics.
