It was the time of clambake, picture #25.

Things not to forget.. the sound of your first girlfriends high heels clicking on the hallway as she rushes back to class,..that new car smell..the sound of the waves lapping against a boat hull while you fall asleep in your bunk.. leaving Las Vegas and seeing the McCullough Mtn. range marching away from the salt flats...that $20 dollars would fill up your friends bottle green 73 ' camaro, feed you all three times at McDonalds and carry you both from one side of Atlanta to the other in a weekend...that bullies wear braces(too bad)..that bailing out a true friend has no price..that a bad friend is to high a price to pay.. that old Cutlass convertibles are still the best way to get around rain or shine..your dads cheap cologne gave him a sophisticated smell to your pre-teen tastes..that I can still only remember 5 jokes in all my life.. wanting to grow up and be a tank...the smell of the concrete at 3am in front of the Star Bar..seeing the top of a girl's thigh above the garter and she wanted you to... that little babes with husky voices are a aural and visual delight.. that .riding a motorcycle, without a helmet on was like flying..

Wow, this article really knocked me off my feet this morning. When most of the days of your life get painted in the same color, you tend to forget that there are allot more crayons in the box. The language in this article is pure poetry. This is the article you should read to Elle and Rena. Once agian...wow.
