I love this story, John. All through my teenage years, I had the feeling I'd been born ten years too late. I would love to have been a teenager in the sixties. I love the music, clothing and hippy elements of that era.

I visited San Francisco about 25 years ago. Walking through the Haight Ashbury area, I wondered what my life would have been like if I lived there in '67.

If you haven't already read it, I think you'll love Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion.

Keep writing.
