Juxta - what a great reflection on your childhood - freedom, adventure, responsibility and a lot of fun. There was so much energy then and the future was promising. I listen to the music of the late 60's, 70's and 80's and those feelings come back. Such a contrast to the last 25 years.. we've lost so much. No wonder people are so medicated. They have no confidence in themselves - most of it through no fault of their own.
