Excerpt-
I was born in Watertown, NY. Jan. 2, 1976. My first memory after birth was being in a play pen turning a music toy on and off. I can still remember the music. I must have been 3-5 years old. After that I recall a hospital stay and I to this day, do not know why I was there. I could not get an answer out of my father. I do not even recall him being there for any of it. I remember my mother poking her head into the room however. I recall the tuna sub I fell in love with (hospital food). I was about 6 years old. There was a cloth like cast that was on my right arm. There was a man that stopped in my doorway and was amazed I could color with that on my arm.
My brother and I- in my memory, as in our youth were nuts. I am surprised we lived to tell about it. We used to have burping wars. Must be a young boy thing? We would get in trouble for that late at bedtime. My brother would steal my Easter candy. We were also heavily into what was the WWF (World Wrestling Federation). I was of course at the time, a huge Hulkamaniac. I used to think of my brozilla as Andre the Giant. We were so into wrestling we would make wrestling rings in the backyard and all the neighbors would come over as well. I used to use matteresses for that and tied rope to trees. (DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME) I used some type of padding for the ring corner turnbuckle. I used to tie the ropes so tight, I could throw all of my youthful weight into them and get some bounce back. I won plenty of matches. I was always ending the match with the dreaded "leg drop" Hulk Hogan used and usually it was my brother on the receiving end. He had to lose. He is 2 years younger than I am. He was also the "seeker" many times playing hide and seek. We were just crazy kids trying to make sense of things.
