Gentlemen,
Thank you!
Yeah, bullies are mainly bluff and fluff…but, first day of high school I got talked into fighting an older kid who shoved me. Unfortunately, he was a pretty good scrapper and twice my size. I got in a really good shot to his left eye early in the fight. He never even blinked. I remember thinking “…uh oh!…”. He beat the tar outta’ me.

Dale06,

I know what you mean… most of my friends from that school have passed and so many were younger than me. Just saw in the local paper, where the last of three brothers who were all younger than me, had died. My first “true love”, died several years ago. Starts to make you think.
