My B'Day

8/8/62, the date I arrived.

How ironic front page headlines about Russians and back page has breast and pickles on sale. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Duck and cover!

Not lounge and snooze.

Little has changed

Give me a sunny day, a gin and tonic and an unfiltered cigarette and I'm just as apathetic as this guy.
