Life is full of firsts
And these may be the moments that shape
The rest of our lives.

First friend – Mike Lynn, whatever happened to him? They moved away.
First love – Kirstie, and still is
First LP bought – Johnny Cash, Folsom Prison, so cool
First foreign trip – Sarnia, “Hey, I’ve been to Canada!”
First job – Radiator shop, under the table, whole buck an hour
First car – 72 Nova, wish I still had her
First concert, Bob Seager and Silver Bullet Band, Alto Reed playing sax on top of those massive speakers
First School – Woodland Elementary, eh
First Kiss – Kirstie, she won me over
First Teacher – Mrs. Patterson, Eh
First Alcoholic drink – Dad’s hidden bottle of Old Grand-Dad, burns

What do these
Say about who I have become?
