179TH AND VYSE, BRONX, NY (PART XXXXXVII): LIFE BEFORE DEATH IN (ugh) NEW JERSEY

(continued)

except for my army service time, my senior term at de witt clinton high school was probably the least stressful time of my life.  no thought was required.

my coursework included quantitative .. or was that qualitative chemical analysis class (who the hell knows) was mostly spent sitting around the lab bsing while waiting for something to heat up, dry, hydrate, filter, change color or some other stupid thing.  and doc guernsey's fun history class where we learned that truman had just taken california to beat whatzisname .. (unbeatable) dewey.

lunchtime was spent at a luncheonette across moshulu parkway having my tuna sandwich and coffee while reading jimmy cannon's column in the new york post.

its tough being college bound.
