conversations with max & zan

We grew up in the 70s. Came of age in the 80s.It was rad. So rad, we often talk about how rad it all was.
So you know, we edit, but never censor. Not language or ideas or emotion.
In this edition: gymsuits, self-esteem, survival 

Zan: Okay, brace yourself. Look what I found. My junior high gymsuit.
Max: Holy shit! The gym onesie. So humiliating. How in the hell do you still have that?

Recently I wondered...
What would happen if, instead of getting amped when something stressful came into my life, I simply let it roll off my back?

then you give it a good, hard look.




yep. it's a portable typewriter....
