Whether you choose to publish it or not--what I wrote my fellow San Franciscans should know--our social movement came and went--and left a lot of dross behind, not the least a good number of social climbing "notables" and poseurs--for a variety of excellent reasons my message will reach my communities--my 'zine is in my blog-I am little concerned about exposure. . Low and Slow indeed. And thanks for your attention.Antonio Perales del Hierrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384643842834303366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19790313.post-56117079301881097792012-01-11T14:25:27.136-08:002012-01-11T14:25:27.136-08:00I am pleased and satisfied that you read my letter...I am pleased and satisfied that you read my letter, and know what's on my mind, whether you choose to publish it or not--what I wrote my fellow San Franciscans should know--our social movement came and went--and left a lot of dross behind, not the least a good number of social climbing "notables" and poseurs-for a variety of excellent reasons my message will reach my communities--I am little concerned about --thanks for your attention.Antonio Perales del Hierrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384643842834303366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19790313.post-63825247507766575632010-12-02T10:55:21.920-08:002010-12-02T10:55:21.920-08:00I was lucky.

I sent my girl to the Unitarian/Universalist sex ed program when she was 12 or 13 and they show graphic B&W slides of EVERYTHING and talk about love and sex and diseases and commitment and all that, boys and girls together in a small group.<br /><br />In public school, she got a perfunctory talk in 5th grade and asked me later: "Daddy, how does the sperm get to the egg?" So much for public school sex ed. (I told her.)<br /><br />Later, when the subject of weed and booze came up - from another parent - I asked her and she answered me honestly that yes, she had tried it, but was not into that stuff. I lied to my parents, so I was proud of her. She never got into drugs, we let her sleep with her boyfriend in our house when she was 18, and she has been the best kid you could hope for, now in college.kozadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298492842856161581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19790313.post-28961242118746727732010-08-15T10:15:21.226-07:002010-08-15T10:15:21.226-07:00Thanks for this wonderful post.

When she was a baby I assumed, as it sounds you did, that I'd do everything right because I love her so much. We'll see...I remember not wanting to talk to my parents about sex and dreading having <i>The Talk</i> with my Dad. He had one with my brother and I guess that was enough for him. Sure to have been embarrassing for both of them. I just found out what I needed to know at the library and from being curious.WHY "THE REST IS SILENCE"?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09305412002602584045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19790313.post-65511345769099718192010-08-06T07:50:10.489-07:002010-08-06T07:50:10.489-07:00Beautiful post.
