2012 Pacific Northwest Writer's Association Literary Contest Finalist for Nonfiction/Memoir, Unpublished Work.The decade of the 1980s has been called the Decade of Decadence. Decadence is defined as the act or process of falling into an inferior condition or state; deterioration; decay or my favorite, unrestrained or excessive self-indulgence. For a decade that brought us Cabbage Patch Kids, Garbage Pail Kids, leg-warmers and New Wave, was it really self-indulgence?! For one kid growing up in the Central Valley of California, it was a time of self-discovery . . . a transformation from a kid, to a teenager, to a young adult . . . his growing up years. At times utterly hilarious, at times poignant and powerful, Tom relives his teenage years in this true-to-the-last-word memoir. Where were you when John Lennon died? When the Space Shuttle blew up? When Lawrence Taylor ended Joe Theisman's career on live TV? When the Loma Prieta earthquake rocked Game 3 of the 1989 World Series? Tom will tell you where he was and what it meant to him. You'll also hear about first kisses, first loves, a joke about your Uranus, the joys of minimum-wage jobs, college roommates, and WHOLE LOT MORE. If you're one of the 70 million Americans who can claim at least one teen year in the decade, you can relate to the era . . . if your kids can't understand your fondness for your Breakfast Club and Princess Bride DVDs, this book may teach them a thing or two about YOUR growing up years. Go ahead, say the word bitchen or bitchin' if you prefer, outloud. Yeah, it was a bitchen time, the Eighties . . . Tom's second book, Don't Fight With the Garden Hose and Other Lessons I've Learned Along the Way is now available!
