Early Life (p1)
Left-Brain
Born and Raised
I'm pretty sure that being born doesn't count as being either creative or analytical. It's just where the story starts.
I was born in 1957 as the first child of what would eventually become a much larger clan.
1957 (just for archeological reference):
- Rotary dial telephones.
- A can of Coke or a candy bar cost a nickel.
- 25 cent a gallon gas pumped by clean, uniformed attendants.
- Outbreak of the Asian Flu (H2N2) Pandemic.
- The USSR launches Sputnik 1 (and in doing so, kicks off the space race).
- The Cold War (Duck and Cover).

Creative?
Before the 4th grade, as far as I can remember, I was just a regular kid, doing regular kid stuff.
Riding bikes with my brothers miles from home to ominous sounding places like Rattle Snake Hill and Hidden Valley.
Not much of a creative spark just yet.
(Although this photo does have the earmarks of an early Rat Pack thing going on here.)
