Family memories are Everything
It's funny how you grow up with brothers ,sister also cousins and suddenly you have all separated and raising kids of your own. We played cops and robbers ,set the dollhouse with dolls and even dressed up imitating every adult in the family. It wouldn't be basic because everyone has a drunk uncle and we had several. How awesome to go from 1 generation to the next in what seems like a moment. As a child I can remember enchanted moments of "I dream of Jeannie and even "I Spy' Robert Culp and Bill Cosby were my heroes. Yogi Bear and "Exit Stage Right "Snaggle-Puss were the cartoons to watch on weekends and you and your brother argued over who was gonna look at the cereal box while indulging in your favorite brand It was a 'Man's world' in which I grew up,men dominated all things wise and economic during the fifties.Then we had the Kennedy and Lyndon B Johnson era whereas things were bearable but still shade was at the end of the tunnel .There was the 'Viet Nam War' People came home mentally disturbed fighting a war for all intent and purpose the minority felt was genocidal. Many veterans came back home infected with 'Agent Orange and horrific drug habits but somehow 'Uncle Sam' made most things right again and all was well.

I felt sometime that the world was being run by an old transistor radio and 'The Whole World was a Stage.' Being a baby- boomer never meant much to me until I saw all my friends dying and even more crippled and disabled and to find that I could still enjoy sex was a major factor to me 'sic' To realize that Medicaid and Medicare became a catch phrase to most of us now instead of hanging out in the newest clubs that DC gentrification brought head on into DMV. Am I jealous 'Nope" not in the least but I can say with all sincerity that if I could control a Time Capsule I really would like to keep Obama for another 4 year tenure, and send Trump back to Jersey fast. I might even try my hand at politicking. If Only Time wouldn't Fly like it has and the Doobie Brothers might even think about singing at my Inauguration along with AWB 'A Love of My Own Yessss! Those were the days.My oldest brother visited about two weeks ago with his new wife and I had the pleasure of seeing my life set out before me with my kid who is now 45years old and has kids of his own. My mother a great-grandmother who still loves going to the casina's as she calls Maryland Live and Horse-Shoe in B-More was radiant watching the generations pass her by but giving her the praise and wonderment people give when they find out your still here! I had a ball as the old heads like to say and share some of our highlights with you from the past few months that I have been cataloging my family and their unique story lines.. DC does not always TUrner Around.. A Play Upon the TURNER CLAN!
