YES! you & i went through the same flower-child teen years. also contributing it to being the nice person i believe i am. AND...(and this will blow you away), i played guitar as a teen. it wasnt f's thing ("i'm too tired, too busy to listen). yet, he bought me a guitar about 3 years ago, and i am an awesome singer too! when i went to bz, i actually emailed barefoot skinny, and his drummer friend, dale the whale, loaned me a guitar his FATHER MADE for 4 days, then i returned it. playing on the beach, just for me, was AMAZING!

i was born 1963, how 'bout you? i had my kids with as much drugs as they would allow me, tho. (a side line for deadheads?!)

anyway, fool i may be, i am trying to hold thing together with the marriage. we have 2 young kids.

just wish me luck, but i am prepared & strong, for whatever the outcome may be.

thanks for taking the time to tell me you understand. it is so special to know you are not alone in your feelings, and that even strangers understand how one can lose themselves in the course of trying to please another.

best to you, amd maybe we will meet someday.
