If we wanted lunch, we had to pick weeds along the side of the road as we walked to school.

Eyes closed for 5 seconds and a head shake.
You can't buy that kind of satisfaction.
One of the great joys of life is getting a teenager to shake their head in disbelief.

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years. Attributed to Mark Twain, but he may not have said it.

I was quarterback on our really bad football team, President of the choir, and Captain of the
Safety Patrol. And I held hands with Margaret Lester at the local orchestra presentation of
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.
Freshman year in college was pretty good too. So good I got expelled.
