I was born during Nixon's swan song....

It was a pretty dire time in the United States and the rest of the world....the oil embargo; wars and the preludes to wars we are still fighting in the Middle East in an attempt to control oil; deepest darkest cold war and recession and rationing. (& some truly bad fashion).

The socio-political and economic climate when I was born certainly influenced how I was raised and how we lived our lives. In many ways I'm grateful that the economic circumstances meant my mother and I lived with my grandparents and that we were part of a close/supportive extended family; I benefited from that in ways my siblings (who were born later) did not.
