The Condensed Paws. ( Archived) (2)

So you don't have to fill in the blanks, I was born in Montreal of French Canadian parents. Brought up in a post war slum, where decisions had to be made daily as to dark side or doing the right thing. Suffered from shyness, a late bloomer. Discovered the guitar, played in a band for a while. Married the first woman who talked to me. Doomed marriage. It was during the social revolution. Drugs, free love, open season on life. Hit the road, traveled all around Canada and the USA. Returned home. Busted for soft drugs, faced 5 yrs., in prison, draconic laws then. Sent free. Moved West. Fell in love with a closet lesbian, married her. 21 yrs., later she came out, and shattered my world. I have recovered. She removed herself from my life, but never took Leo with her. She never defined me. I will always remain whole, and who I am. Now here I am again. A virgin. Learning what I likely already know. For the grace of God, go I. Paws
