I posted this in full, if you feel like blessing my blog, A Christian's Worldview" with a visit, I appreciate it.

I am often told by others that I should write a book. Well, I am actually knocking around the idea of writing one based upon my life. This would be an early chapter, but there would be much more included in this chapter of course. I have shared other things about me. If you know me, you know I have had an interesting life to say the least. Whether it would be interesting enough to write about, I'll leave it to others to decide. What I offer here is but a PG-13 readers digest version of what I would write in the chapter of when i worked on a carnival at 16, if I write it at all. I really am curious if anyone thinks it would be a waste of my time or worthwhile. If you are related to me, I would change names a places a bit, because I can bet you would take me to court to stop me. LOL.

!973 is the year I graduated high school and joined the Marine Corps. One of the more eventful years of my life.

My favorite popular tune from the summer of 1973:

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy--The Andrews Sisters

Currently out on the lot right now at the WA State Fair in Puyallup. An independent on the midway selling slum. Been at it with the Mrs for the last few decades. Don’t know what else to do anymore except maybe die on the lot, in the booth and let the others scramble for the leftovers so we don’t have to slough it.

Absolutely you should write a book. Heck, write a couple. The carnival stuff could be a book by itself.

For me, 1973 was horrid. My sister was murdered on New Years Day. My father was run down and killed by a drunk driver on Good Friday. The Reds lost to the Mets in the play-offs and we had to move in December away from my school, my friends and the only life I ever knew.

I do not look back fondly on 1973.

It has a very whimsical Ray Bradbury feel to it....”Dandle Lion wine” feel to it.

If you decide to write a book, I really don’t believe it would be a waste of time.

I really enjoyed reading that.
