At some points in the portion of my youth that was misspent, I was who you saw, and at times I still regret what I may have done to those known and unknown.

I wish I had something more eloquent to say - but that was good. I feel so lucky to read what you have to say without actually buying the book.

You know Harriet, I think this is going on my favorite entries list. I loved the "nostalgia" of the piece, even though it wasn't a really a visit to your own crazy days. You still captured that sense of wonder and surreal feeling of déja vú. Fantastic post!

I agree that this was one of your best. Have you read Alice Munro's Runaway? This reminded me a little of those.

Really beautiful -- Also, I think it is interesting when you are able to look back on that age and see how young it is, and then to realize how young you were then, although you probably felt quite grown up and capable at the time. It's a funny thing --
