For my friends and readers,

For years, people have been telling me I should write a book. I thought, why not? I started it back in 1972 on an old manual underwood typewriter. It was to be called Damhara. It covered a lot more about the Hippy movement. When I was finished, I took it to someone to edit and correct my spelling, as I am a bad speller. After I picked it up, I stopped at a market, and it was stolen from the back seat. Who, the hell, would steal a bunch of papers?

So, I started over, and this time just took a walk down memory lane. Some of it was painful, some of it was fun and lots of it really made me think. When I finished it and re-read it, I decided not to publish it because I realized how stupid I am and did I really want anyone to know that.

It was my granddaughter, Aimee, who talked me into publishing it.

What was I thinking? The same question can lead to a life of extraordinary adventures. My book invites you to explore the highs and lows, the triumphs and trials, and the moments that defined who I am. With me, embrace the extraordinary and find inspiration in the unexpected twists and turns of life. There are mistakes in it. It is not perfect… but neither am I. Some people will not like me after reading it and someone might want to kill me. After thought, I should not have used his real name! 

I am currently working on the continuation which I think will be better and funnier. Also, on this website www.whatwasithinking.net, I am writing stories that were left out of that book. I hope you will enjoy it and let me know your thoughts. 

Thank you, Carol
