I'm just a grown up kid who has had many life experiences. I like being an adult, because it means that I have met and married my wife, have two fantastic daughters, have owned a house and now live in England. But I remember being a kid, and a teenager, and a young man, like it was yesterday. When I could fly. This is a memoir of parts of my life, a kaleidoscope, a jumble of times and places as I remember them, written at pace, but written with nostalgia for the way we were. They say that you can never go back to how things were. For a few nostalgic hours I did!
