They were good. Growing up surrounded by vets from WW2, in a culture of law and order, the criminal minorities afraid to go too far where "the Man" was concerned, etc.

I didn't realize how good I had it. I was distracted by people telling me what to do. "Sit up straight!" "Eat your brussel sprouts!" "Do your homework!"

But it was a good time to be a boy in America.

I hate brussel sprouts. Maybe that’s where my problems with authority figures began.
