How well said, yet leaving out all the drugs it was still a pretty wonderful time. Ah, when life was free and oh so much simpler...

Be always safe,

Years ago I used to drink, it never bothered me
The falling down sometimes hurt
Have a good one

Five of the six I have to say
Were a bit too risky for my kind of play
A bit of the smoke I'd say I inhaled
And fortunately never once found me jailed
We all do things crazy as part of our youth
Now some of us are satisfied with gin and vermouth

Welcome back. Patrick

many searching for God seek such substances, it is only when we realize it is not found there, but rather serves only as distraction from the truth, can we find what we are seeking

Hi Ed, At least you weren't a wannabe! A lot of things we look back at some things we did and wonder why. Sometimes the only answer I can come up with is "Because!"

Take good care of you...

In Spirit,

Took you this long to figure it out? LOL Why do we do half the things we do when younger? Escape? Rebellion? Perhaps a bit of both? A thousand miracles we survived ... and we have. Thank God. Well done, Ed.
