EARLIEST MEMORIES

Well, it's 5:55 and Patrick's outside because Junior got up and went to work early today. It's 67 degrees and there is light ground fog out the window.

My earliest memory is of falling out of a gimongous black sedan onto gravel and cutting my knee. After more than fifty years the scar is still faintly visible. Another early memory is studying about Red wing blackbirds at a group meeting of kids run by a neighbor mom. I think it was a regular thing but not part of an organized group. Another early memory is confessing to my mom that I had a girlfriend, and needed a gift to go to her birthday party. That was probably second grade, I would have been seven. I entered the University of Florida in the fall of 1965 at age seventeen. I guess that's when all my women problems began...For those of you wondering, there will be no invasion by ET's this year. I have it on the highest authority. -30-
