No carrier bag, I just held it in my hand. I got on the tube and the whole way back to South Kensington I could feel my face going deep red and beads of sweat appearing on my hairline. The cute young lady across the carriage kept looking at the rolled-up mag in my hand and smiling at me (What can I say? I was a cute lad).Laguna Beach Fogeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027025872132699493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-4472819873460300572008-12-01T10:52:00.000-05:002008-12-01T10:52:00.000-05:00M Lane- Thanks and I really enjoy your stories.

I remember the O-Club on the beach, reading old issues of Yank Magazine in post library and walking the pet cemetary on top of the fort. And eating dirt cheap at Fuller's Restauarant. <BR/><BR/>initials CG- You are very kind.

Did you ever shoot pool at the YMCA? Hide out in the cistern by the Casemate? Slide down the inside of the moat walls on snow days? Remember that tiny little jail cell next to the main gate of the moat? Did the moat ever freeze over while you were there? Sorry for so many questions. Love the nostalgia.~Tessa~Scoffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026251653030390293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-10797715798405787122008-11-27T15:34:00.000-05:002008-11-27T15:34:00.000-05:00For those growing up in the pre-internet days, dir...For those growing up in the pre-internet days, dirty magazines were a key part of a young man's adolescence.
