When I was 17, I didn't think too much with my brain. It wasn't getting enough oxygenated blood. In a room that was carpeted with mattresses, and with a slim young thing who was protesting her Capitalist Warmonger Parents in Lake Forest, and figured she was engaging in a political act... Today she's some two-bagger. Back then, she was an ex-cheerleader, who hadn't slid too far, yet.

You don't have to pretend very much, Hinsdale was a LONG way from Old Town, and that I didn't pick up one or more communicable STDs is a source of constant wonder.

50 years, and there is still guilt. It's not, actually, very funny, now. Perhaps joining the Corps of Marines was an act of atonement.
