  • I “discovered” caffeine the summer between 7th and 8th grade. Vanilla lattes changed everything. In high school they sold us sodas and snacks between classes. By 9th grade, I couldn’t stay awake through 2nd period (geometry) without drinking a 20 oz. Mt. Dew before class. When I realized what was happening I stopped drinking Mt. Dew. It was a rough couple of weeks. It was my first experience with drug dependence. Informed my approach to drugs for the rest of my life. I got lucky, I suppose.






  • When I was a kid, I had seen, or at least heard of, nearly every TV show from my parent’s generation. Going back probably 40 years. Like, I’ve probably seen every Looney Tunes, every episode of M.A.S.H., and most episodes of The Munsters, because some days there wasn’t anything else to watch. My kids look at me crazy if I haven’t heard of the latest flash-in-the-pan influencer, but if I bring up a 10-year old movie or TV show, they have no idea what I’m talking about.
