46 (Part 1 of 2)

46 years ago, at 1:55 pm, I was born in Mobile, Alabama. Despite being very sickly and almost dying a couple of times I had a great childhood, filled with my favorite, but incongruous, things like KISS and The Dukes Of Hazzard and G.I. Joe and Spider-Man comic books. My coming-of-age years were in the 80's and I was very much a product of that time, with many hours and quarters burned standing in front of a Pac-Man machine.

It seems like yesterday and it seems like a thousand years ago all at the same time.
