and heard a loud undeniable voice in my head: Get Out!
Forty-eight hours later I was hitch-hiking to Key West to look for a job on a shrimp boat. Left the Dean's list, the scholarship, the Psi Upsilon secretariat, the captain of the Onteora high school cheerleaders (then at Cornell), and started over.

I like that what an awesome beginning, you have to wonder what the Catalyst was especially considering the 60s emoji hippies with headbands and flowers in their hair dancing in the park, and it seems like some movie that you weren't the only one to head down to Florida the work on a shrimp boat and yes it was probably a long climb out of that one smiles ☺️

Reading and writing some of this stuff is kind of inspiring me to go through some old unpublished writing from the typewriter era and maybe regurgitate it onto this platform emoji man bending over with flying typewriters coming out of his mouth, and I like a good long ramble by the way and while I was there in the city or the Bronx to be exact in 48 during the Great Blizzard I certainly wasn't old enough to remember much about it though I do remember walking in the gale force wind and singing the Volga Boat song🚣‍♂️🚣‍♀️🚣🎯🎲

Life's a Gamble and there's always the road not taken
