I was born in 1956 when most of the second half of the 20th century lay before me. It was a time when my country, the United States, was in crisis. Political assassinations, an aimless war, outrageous rock and roll, civil unrest, the sexual revolution, the hippy movement, feminism... these were all agents of change common to that time, and that affect how men like me show up in the world. We grow up in the shadow of our fathers, the Ogre-King we must eventually battle to become who we are. This is the story of my life, of my father's, and of the men who entered the second half of life in the second half of the last century.
