What Happened to Me?

What happened to me?

I asked myself. Morrie's high voice took me back to my university years.

When I thought rich people were evil,

a shirt and tie were prison clothes..

and life without freedom to get up and go - motorcycle beneath you, breeze in your face, down the streets of Paris, into the mountains of Tibet - was not a good life at all. 


What happened to me?

the eighties happened. The nineties happened.

Death and sickness and getting fat and going bald happened.

I traded a lot of dreams for a bigger paycheck.
