The game is is played just like happened to George Bailey of Bedford Falls. Only instead of what would be the world be like if you hadn’t been born, it is what would your life had been if you had made a different choice along your journey.
OK, I’ll go first. My life changed in the spring of ’65 when I wore sandals to high school. I was a junior at Las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek, California. Although Walnut Creek to Berkeley is now rated by Goggle as a mere 15 miles apart, at that time it was a million. Walnut Creek was still in the ’50.
From sandals my life quickly went down a path to hanging out in Berkeley, being kicked out of Las Lomas, and of course there were some sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll! Self-discipline left me. I used to think of being a writer or an attorney. And then I was working in a gas station.
It has been an adventure. Maybe I would not have been happy as an attorney. But then telling lawyer jokes for a living probably would have been a great compromise!
There are changes in our society given birth to in the ‘60’s. And then there is also the pain for families and individuals. There are those like myself, who were invincible, and if anything happened there was always penicillin, which could cure any and every thing. Still as the result of a little exploration ended up chronically ill.
Tough choice, and no angel along for the ride!

A season for all!
Lately when anyone says merry Christmas to me, I reply in a friendly way with a smile, what about Chanukah? Have gotten only smiles in return! Try it!
