I believe we were under the impression that we were having a good time, having fun....thinking nothing of impermanence. I remember my very first time trying a cigarette behind the delicatessen that belonged to my father's friend. She procured the smokes, we were never caught and I never smoked again until an adult, which I have long since stopped years past. Hope you are doing well and nice to see you writing.
