I have reached the age in which the first man who made me laugh out loud,

who gave blood, sweat and tears in an effort to defy the wind,

and who by the time I was 14, could quote line for line

in an effort to be allowed to study drama at school,

decided enough was enough,

and wrote, “Things just seemed to go wrong too many times.”,

and took the next boat out to the onward great adventure.
