Listening to the song, "Rock Around the Clock" and realizing that both music and life was CHANGING fast compared to pre-ROCK. Running nearly naked through the neighbors back yards late at night. AS a gang-like group grabbing a guys bumper as he tried to get his car up a snow covered slippery HILL - and then absorbing colorful language as we ran away. There was a LOT of running away - like after stealing tomatoes. Playing baseball with a tennis ball - I guess we did that because we would NOT need gloves? Sitting on a park bench behind the swimming pool and hoping to talk to some young ladies. Water skiing behind my father's boat. Getting cut from the High School Baseball team. Having water balloon fights. Acting stupid and immature all through grade school. Sneaking under a fence into a High School football game and having to fight some clown at the top of the hill. Not quit understanding what the music teacher was trying to get across about the "me's and the do's thing. Still don't know!
......Those were the days my friend - we would fight and never lose!!!!!!!
Three Hail Marys and Three Our Fathers my son!
