Where the Acorn Falls

Growing up in the suburbs in the ‘50s was a completely different experience than growing up after the year 2000. Just about everything was self-created and directed. We left our house right after breakfast and returned in time for supper. No parent or adult told us what to do to occupy our time. Mostly, they told us what not to do, and we paid little attention to that advice.

Each new adventure took us to its logical or illogical conclusion. Sometimes a lesson was learned, more often than not, the hard way. This is a journey through those experiences, many of which are not repeatable today.

Growing up is mental, and growing older is physical. Both form integral parts of our experiential library. Whether in the late 1800s, mid-1950s, or now, it is the best time to be alive in an ever-changing world.

He writes with so much style and verve that a reader can’t help but envy both his skill with the written word and the life he describes with it.

At times light-hearted, at times self-disclosing, Cunningham’s intimate reflections on his road less traveled are filled with love, candor, and life’s inevitable regrets.
