May 14

my motto the past several years has been a little tune i "composed" (ha)
F E CCC
lyrics: it sucks to get old

you aren't the only one missing their youth -- i miss mine so much too.

maybe if you get tired of "writing" that memoir you could pick up a tape recorder and record some of it (almost like you're doing monologues) and your sister can transcribe it for you later.

sending some positive vibes and love your way.
