Whenever Middle-Age Recalls Youth

Whenever middle-age recalls youth with its long, exciting and carefree days: we remember that we lived them in our own ways; our parents argued that it wasn't astute... have they forgotten how they shamelessly lied to get some romantic kiss before it actually died? Before the invention of television most folks were moody... there were only radios and vinyl records to listen to, so the dreamy heart would sing and not be blue; amazingly today, everything is digital due to high technology. Even grandmother admitted of kissing her sweetheart over a few Strega Liqueur drinks before falling face-down on the lawn; she didn't get caught and that secret has remained with her until now and blushing she tries to smile, remembering that frown. Whenever middle-age recalls youth as being innocent and free of all woes... it may surprise you how it went hand in hand with progress; in the sixties, Rock & Roll was considered evil and scandalous, but our frantic moms adored Elvis for his attire and gentleman's manners. * Strega is an Italian Herbal Liqueur Translation: The Witch's Liqueur
