My coworker,Jonathan,told me a memorable story about hischildhood.Unlike my upbringing,Jonathan's upbringing wasa mixture of running wild and playing rough.While I waswatched like a hawk by my parents,Jonathan's parents were loving but notalways protective.He grew up in a more rural part of California, on a landthat was filled to the brim with a kid's imagination--large fields, tall trees,and a fully functioning (sanitary) creek.Lately,it's hard to find these landsin California anymore. California, in the eyes of many people, is a land ofbeaches and Disneyland.
