About this ebook

A boomer memoir delivered in wry vignettes—edgy but never bitter. These reflections concentrate on the 1970s as I drifted through a turbulent swarm of events, buffeted by psychological conflicts, underachieving, drinking, and drugs. The memoir takes you on the inside of the boomer generation, life after that was up for grabs, shaped by one’s youthful mistakes.
