Not me Walt. Though my home life was safe, secure, loving the rest of my life was kinda difficult. I was an extremely shy child. I also excelled in school and skipped a few grades so I was younger than the other kids. They looked at me as if I were from another planet. "Teacher's pet" was among the things they called me. High School was somewhat better but I was always a loner. I had one friend early on in grammar school but she dumped me in 10th grade to hang out with the "fast" kids who smoked behind the boys' gym at lunchtime. I trudged on and got through it. I did a two-year stint in Drama class (at the request of my Radio Arts teacher who asked me to switch classes) and found that in front of a crowd as SOMEONE ELSE I wasn't scared at all. Kinda shocking to me so I did enjoy the plays we put on. Otherwise? I was relieved to graduate! So my "good old days" are when we lived in Massachusetts where my son was born. The folks were super great. Our lives were simple predictable sane logical comforting. Unlike today where there is NO sanity comfort or logic anywhere in gubment. We are stuck being controlled by a raving maniac. How can THAT end well? Thank you for your reply! :)
