Driving past a sign, State Eye Exams, I could say I just passed the state eye exams.
“You can’t help anyone if you feel sorry for them.”
Surprised I didn’t sleep over with J.B. when she asked me over to her apartment one sunny afternoon, back in my sophomore year at IU (or her roommate, Suzy?, sitting next to her f’ball b’friend and shooting me beavers) … and wondered why J.B. wasn’t so friendly a few days later …
J.B. was so beautiful and so obviously beyond my league. What could she possibly see in me?
Also surprised Nikki & I first went out on Pearl Harbor Day.
My innocence, like Parsifal’s, has protected me from so much.
I am my own guru. Well, only in aspiration.]
