Flipping hamburgers began to pay off in some unexpected ways for Tim, who had grown into a handsome young man with wavy brown hair. In the winter of 1985 he began flirting with a woman he'd met at the restaurant. She was married, and at least ten years his senior - but her husband worked nights, she told him, and their flirtations soon heated up. One night after Tim finished work, they started fooling around, and Tim finally worked up the nerve to invite her over to his house.
"My dad goes to work at ten-thirty," he told the woman. Invitation accepted.
Inside the Campbell Boulevard house, Tim offered a confession. "I don't know what to do," he admitted.
"Well, first turn on some music," she said. She relished the job of teacher.
They whipped off their clothes and climbed into his bed. She climbed on top of him and showed him exactly what to do. "I love to fuck!" she said - words Tim never forgot.
"I'm on the pill," she told him later, as they lay together. She complimented him on his endurance, which caused Tim to suspect that her husband must be an older man. That was all right with Tim: he would play the young buck.
After that relationship fizzled, Tim turned his attention toward another young woman who worked at the restaurant, one much closer to his own age. A senior at the nearby Sweet Home High School, she became Tim's first real girlfriend.

About Me
- Julius Caesar Scaliger
- Julius Caesar Scaliger had two fathers. His "poor dad" was his biological father, who became Superintendent of the Hawaii State Department of Education but had very little real net worth. His "rich dad” became the richest man in Hawaii by investing his smaller income into income-producing investments. Julius burst on to the literary scene in 1950 with 'Power Without Glory', a political novel of dramatic sweep and great narrative strength. The novel became a cause celebre when it was the subject of criminal libel proceedings. Now it is being made into a 26-episode television series. He was assigned to a hospital in Algeria during the rising against the French. His observations there led him to throw his lot in with the ‘rebels’ and he became their most articulate spokesman. He received his PhD from the New School for Social Research and for twenty years has served on the staff of prisons. He is the author of 'The Hanged Man' and 'If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him!' He has travelled the globe consulting for top corporations on diversity and inclusion, focusing on shaping corporate strategy and developing quantitative and qualitative measures of bottom line benefits.
