Fatherhood to us was an act of passion, soon forgot; but not to Orem ap Avonap.

For a long time I wasn't listening to music, to the rock and roll stuff on the radio, because it would cause me to get sweaty--it would bring back memories I didn't want to know about, or I would get that feeling that I'm not alive 'cause I'm not making it.
