I realize this will sound ...well...weird. One of my most fascinating points of history is appx July 1969 to about July 1970. I believe this was a major change point in time. The transition from the turbulent 60's to a different time which I believe leads in a meandering way to our dysfunctional present political and social state. So what am I planning. Well......I am sure you know of reactors who dress up in say Civil War garb and refight various battles etc. Well I plan to in a way go back to that 1969 era to see if I can understand it better and see if I can recharge my history muse {if I can find her}. How do I plan to do this , well I will borrow a 68 VW beetle to drive for a couple of days. I have purchased a Schick adjustable razor circa 1970's from ebay. I plan to drive roads and highways only available that year. So I am planning this out. So one more reason why. I am now so far a cancer survivor. Finished up radiation in July for throat cancer. This September shortly after Labor Day the class of 2015 will enter Maple Hill High School for their senior year. Just as I did in 1969 some 45yrs ago. When one has cancer I have begun to realize that life is short or atleast shorter than I may hope. So who knows if I will make a 50th anniversary. So better now to try my experiment rather than later......don't worry I will write a blog about some of my impressions. So if you live in the Schodack NY area especially , and you knew me back then say hello , I would love to talk with you on that era. I may even be wearing a tie dyed T shirt. I told you it was going to sound odd.
