Making friends was something I looked forward to with uneasy anticipation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy dad was in the military.

That is another reason why I hated roosters. They don't work like your alarm clock.

Although we were sitting just a few inches apart, I felt like I was marooned on Mars. My dad was silent and removed. Once again, I felt abandoned. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's Suspense: As I entered the cobblestone roadway, there was a bright light shining in my eyes. Then, I heard the horn blow and wheels screech. I looked right into the jaws of death. I was headed straight for a military personnel carrier three sizes bigger than a Ford F150. I hit the brakes, braced myself, and waited for the truck to wipe me out \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's Romance: I could still smell the aroma of her perfume long after I could no longer see the greyhound on the back of the bus. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's Something for Young and Old: I invite you to go along so that you can experience what it was like for a young man of color to grow up in the U.S.A. during the fifties.
