Before she died just short of her 100th birthday my mother asked me why I had such a bad attitude.
Let's see. Maybe it was being raised Catholic in the rural South during the'50's and '60's .
Or maybe it was after graduating college I spent 5 years as a US Marine Infantry officer.
Or maybe it was being discharged with one eye and a slight limp.
Or just maybe it was being married three times and living with two others(one longer than one of my marriages). Yeah! I think that explains my bad attitude.
