This began early, with an early set of memories. 1. Football Stairs 2. Dream/nightmare of father's death 3. Vaccination at doctor's office Why the football? I was playing with my brother - the two of us tossing a football to and fro, with myself at the top of the basement stairs. We have 11 yeras between us, and I always greatly admired and sought to imitate my brother as I was convinced that he always had deep insight and embodied the pinnacle of cool. I always imagined that women would be unable to resist him. Being at the bottom was natural for my brother to assume - given that he was older and stronger. The conesquence of this configuration was that the football was propelled upwards with great force, striking me in the face. I felt somewhat devastated and immediately abandonned our cooperative activity, running down the hall and into the kitchen, where my mother's familiar figure was present, preparing what was likely to be our supper for the evening. With tears in my eyes, I recounted my version of the events to my reassuring mother, who liekly knew well enough not to take my complaints too seriously. # Strength Why Strength?
