November 1963: I was in an 8th grade algrebra class that started after the lunch period. The teacher was an old black guy, Mr. Roberts. Wore the same sports coat all week. Thread worn at the elbows. Had two neckties and alternated them day to day. He had a grey mustache that always had lint in it. We gave him a hard time but he just rolled with it, like he was doing time, being patient until he got paroled from abuse from jr. high scholl assholes and until the world changed, as he thought it surely would one day. The principal came over the intercom and announced that President John F Kennedy had be shot to death by an assassin in Dallas, Texas. The president who had said, "We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light a candle." The president who had said, "we stand today on the edge of a new frontier." Mr. Roberts was standing in front of his chair and after a few seconds he sat down like his legs had been knocked out from under him. The class was stunned. You could hear kids crying down the hall. Tears rolled down Mr. Roberts' face as his lip quivered. After a few minutes of thick silence, he got up and walked out. Slowly. Defeatedly. My blood had stopped flowing. It rushed to my head and burned like a fire. It was a life defining event, like D-Day, Pearl Harbor or 9/11. I can still reach back and find that fear and helplessness. Mr. Roberts never returned to 8th grade algebra class. We got a cute substitute for the rest of the year. Moral of the story? If there is one, you can figure it out for yourself.

I haven't had anything to drinking a few weeks. Maybe I need to see a doctor, something is wrong.
