Flashback

Picture it: Northern Indiana, late 80's. Reaganomics were rebuilding a struggling economy for all white men that were already rich. America is captivated by dancing, dried out prunes that surfed. We were all on the brink of Crystal Clear Pepsi, a void that is still unable to be filled... I was five, getting ready to start kindergarten.

I also rather enjoyed the following:

Scene: Elkhart, Indiana JCPenney or some such store
People: You, your mom, me... shopping for pants for you

You: Mom, I'm going to look in the men's section for pants.
Your mom: Fine.
... you try on pants after a few troublesome comments and decisions about what size to take into the dressing room on the other side of the store.
You, from inside the dressing room: Umm....
I begin laughing, your mom gives me a stern look.
Your mom: Do you need a different size? You probably took the wrong size.
You: No, I just need one of you to unzip them for me.

I think it's the only time your mom and I have laughed together.

I got surgery over a year ago now and I couldn't be happier with my results... i have no idea where you are now, but i think last check you were in IN i don't know what the distance is between where you are and where I am, but if possible, i would love to see you again. 386-864-1810
