I begged my roommate at the time to get in the non-heated community pool at our complex in Van Nuys. It might have been spring?

The age of my darkness is coming to an end — perhaps not forever but at least for now. The days are getting shorter, and the air is getting crisper. The birds are calling, and the trees gently whisper. The forest is a place to rest. I have found a place I can feel my best.

First of all: shout out to Paul Brown, the guy who invented a tiny little valve that changed how stuff comes out of things back in 1991, I was like 3 years old at that point.
