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.

Thanks for the post. Followed your blog.

And if you hadn’t posted the whole thing, “humblegunner” - self-appointed police of FR would be on your case if he caught you. I’m not kidding.

You are right, NEWwoman. It’s a shame.

He should’ve gotten the ZOT a long time ago. He contributes nothing but a hostile atmosphere to FR.

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

It was the Summer of 42
Jennifer O’Neill was lonely and let me take advantage of her.
Best summer for me : )

In 1973, I graduated from Occidental College with an AB degree in history and began graduate study at the University of Southern California, so it was an important year in my life as well.

My favorite popular tune from the summer of 1973:

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy--The Andrews Sisters

Later in November of that year after i turned 17, I joined the Army. At 17, the army was willing to take me, but I still needed my moms approval, but she was more than willing.

She just put up a new video a few months ago. I had no idea this happened. Bless her soul.

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.
