Enjoy!

Foxy Lady

A Jimi Hendrix Memoir.

Moving Experience

"No, this essay is not about anything relating to moving from place to place. 'PCS' is still a term I have firmly implanted into my brain.  That, and my father's social security number.  As we all remember, for years we were identified by our sponsor's Social Security Number.  I suppose when you repeat a 9-digit number for the better part of 21 years, it's hard to get out of your head."—James Kidd

Vacation Time

"I think that to go on vacation is in my blood. It all started with my parents. I suppose the military lifestyle is to blame, or perhaps something they put into the water on all those army bases. Regardless, my genetic code has altered and mutated to the point where the act of going on vacation has now been passed on to my children as well. That's how that stuff works."

Strangers in Our Own Family

Moving frequently and living far away from family made keeping up with our own extended families difficult. Jim shares his own observations with us.
