In reply to the discussion: I had a kind'a upsetting day. [View all]Hoyt
(54,770 posts)3. I get it. Didn't go to my 50th because most of them are still ignorant white wingers.
Sadly, the guy and girl who were quarterback captain of football team and cheerleader head, not to mention King and Queen were killed/maimed by their son with an ax 30 some years ago. Shows that those that seemingly had the world in their hands back then, didnt necessarily. The wife/cheerleader has courageously gone on.
I went to my 40th, because it was close by, but left after an hour or so because my friends werent there and the rest were as I said above, white wingers. Went home to play my guitar and sing.

Did you attend English schools? Or American schools in England for service members' kids?

I feel better. Still sad about the list of the dead. Also, my own mortality comes to the fore.

This is a wonderful essay. I identify and I think it would resonate with many people.
