A brief history of my time

I am told I was born in 1967.

The first thing I remember is an orange lifevest close to my face as I floated in comfortably cold water near a wood dock. The second thing I remember is my father pulling me out of the water. I also noticed my mother standing close to the land’s end of the dock.

Mom said I was about eighteen months old and she was pregnant with my sister.

Mom still can’t swim.
