Seems there is some interest in that.

I started secondary school
I followed the Football world championship and was bitterly disappointed by germany's performance (with the notable exception of the match against Mexiko)
I was on vacation at my grandparents.

I had met a new man who was my partner for 12 years. I think at that time I bought a new condo to suit a bigger family. 🙂 I studied English at the university as evening student.


I won the World Cup for Argentina and the Nobel Peace Prize.

in 1978 i enrolled in maryville college near st louis, mo
maryville had/has? a liberal arts program in a school that for years was exclusively a nursing college
i wanted to learn cinematography/photographic art/line drawing
i had this notion of being the guy behind the camera on the boom dolly framing the action shot of tom cruise kissing brad pitt right before they kill all the bad guys

what derailed my efforts was the ratio

there were 3.6 females to every male enrolled

i was 23 years of age, just out of the us navy, and i had urges

i did not succeed at college

I should add that I worked as a secretary at Volvo full-time and had two children, so those were busy times - and the best years of my life.

I wasn't in disguise when we met. I was picking up the prize for Volvo employee of the decade.

And I remember thinking: why him and not me...?


I worked in a credit control office where I befriended 3 twenty something divorcees and 2 others. We used to go out and get very drunk very often.
