Count the books so you don't get blindsided; Never let ‘em see you sweat. And the most important rule: It ain’t the hand or the game that matters most, it’s the player. They are lessons I never forgot
I love your stories John. I grew up on 80th and Maryland. Lots of Italians and Irish then in the 40’s, 50’s , and early 60’s. We hung out at a drugstore with soft drinks, and Grand Crossing Park. Got chased and picked up by the police. Usually they would drive us around till we cried because we knew we’d get killed by our parents. Poor but I guess we had what we needed. But your stories let me know how you lived and your stories are so colorful and sad. Thank you for sharing 🙏
