It was an amazing two years out of my life. My best friend's girlfriend banging on my window at 3AM to talk to me about him, with his little sisters in tow (eight and eleven). The druggies across the street, the Viet refugees next door (Tom, the middle son and I were good friends).

Actually Bill came from a higher economic background. His stepdad was loaded.

You should write about those times. Actually, you should read James Rogan's autobiography. Very poor, sad upbringing -- hideous neighborhoods, a housing project -- but he writes about it with an appropriate sense of humor.

And yet he never rose above being white trash.
