BACK IN THE 1960S,BIRTHDAY PARTIES WERE
MAJOR FUN. THE 'GRATEFUL DEAD' WAS ON THE
HI-FI AND YOU DANCED AND TOOK POWERFUL
DRUGS AND SWAM NAKED IN THE LAKE AND LAY
ON THE SAND TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE
FEELING. BUT I CAN'T DO ANYMORE FOR FEAR
OF EMBARRASSING MY CHILDREN.

A SAFE BUT SOMETIMES CHILLY WAY OF
RECALLING THE PAST IS TO FORCE OPEN A

FOR ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR YOU DON'T
FIND IT, BUT SOMETHING FALLS OUT AT THE
BACK THAT IS OFTEN MORE INTERESTING.
