This book is a collection of poetry, essays, short stories and ecstatic writing which defies description. The beauty of the place and my memories of those times come from a very special place in my heart. It is drawn from the writing I have done over the course of my life from age fourteen at an Eastern prep school until a thought popped into my head this morning as I was drinking a cup of green tea. For instance, here is the story of how I was born: I was baked inside a TV set for twenty five minutes. The recipe called for fifty.

These are coming of age stories whether the characters portrayed are in seventh grade, seniors in high school, productive adults or senior citizens in a retirement home. Whether we are the young learning to face life or the elderly learning to face death we are all continually coming of age.

The pieces range from snapshots of time spent in our own unique locality to ruminations of world events, from reflections on coping with life's pressures to the significance of love and friendship. They offer a colorful glimpse into both the unique and the collective sense of the young men and women who comprise Lexington High School's graduating class of 2005.
