Age in Perspective
One thing that never ceases to amaze any parent is the perspective of age when seen through the eyes of a child. This morning I was eating my microwave oatmeal and watching CNN. A story came on about the latest revelation of John F Kennedy's affairs. Nearly 50 years since his death we still learn tales of his voracious sexual appetite. Oh those were the days for a president. The male club that surrounded him was sure to keep all his indiscretions close to their belts as most were engaged in similar ones. Of course it is a phenomenon not unique to males as Eleanor Roosevelt had her own lesbian and or bisexual lover. Something about JFK entrances us though. He was so damn good looking. I commented to my son how much JFK did love the ladies. He in turn asked me if I remembered JFK's presidency? "Son, I wasn't even born." I answered. "His brother was assassinated when I was gurgling and blowing boogers out of my nose at the tender age of one."
