I was living in MAine, smoking pot, working and wanting to get the hell out of there. Now I'm 50, don't smoke and love going back home.

Studying Quantum Physics and learning to fly Light Aircraft. I also managed to land a hot girlfriend, despite such nerdy pursuits. Good times.

Moved from a suburb of NYC to a sub of San Francisco. The Bay Area was very relaxed and cool in 1970. Surfing at Santa Cruz or skiing at ***** Valley was uncrowded and casual. Lots of cute, cool girls. Had a little motorcycle and a surf board. Couldn't wait to be older.

Let's see...played a lot of hockey, drank a lot of beer and whisky, got into fights, slept with girls that dreamed of a UAW husband and I put another nickel in the juke box baby.

Not really, I was in my last year of catholic high school and had this huge virgin complex, not because I believed in religion at all (I didn't), but because the years of dealing with my school preaching abstinence was the only method of birth control, mixed with my mom basically convincing me I'd be a whore if I had sex before marriage had me all messed up and thinking I'd wait for "the one". I also started university and I was one of the only students in my classes who couldn't drink (drinking age is 18), so I never got invited anywhere, and never got asked out. In other words, I was kind of a loser.

But now you are the darling of SF! So, you know, there's that. All's well that ends well, right?

I once asked her what she would do if her only real accomplishment on her deathbed was being the hot chick on a men's clothing website. She gave me some bullshit answer. So.... there's that.

She'd do one of the classic moves where we have a great tag team team, and we are just storming through the competition, and then, all of a sudden, in the middle of a match, she whacks me over the head with a metal folding chair and decides that she is switching tagteam partners. Then spb lady and her would kick ****** while conne sat on the sideline fapping.
