I just started a new ebook on Wattpad entitled Childhood Memories - poetry that reveals the exciting, joyful, energetic, passionate, blissful, raging and painful childhood experiences of Baby Boomers in the 1950's, `60s and early `70s.

At least, that's what I think it will do.

I remember those days. How crazy it was to think sitting under those desks holding our heads was going to erase an atom bomb.
