Memoirs of my now deceased bipolar Aquarian son, Cal. He had a complicated disposition during elementary and teen years, with physicians never having suspected a bipolar disorder, when in fact he was finally diagnosed bipolar at age 29. He had a remarkable IQ in certain arenas, but lacked common sense in others. He was witty and quick, and most entertaining. He loved, and was excellent at, writing poetry that he had hoped would someday be songs. Some of his sad, but amazing, poetry is included in this book. Music of all generations and orders was his world, but heavy metal was his style. His life was sad and emotionally hard, due to never having met his musically accomplished biological father; nor ever having had a respectable relationship with his adoptive father, and experienced many years of being raised by a single female parent, namely me, his Mother. He often hid his pain and continued to entertain until his tragic death in Los Angeles at age 41, leaving behind his 6-year younger sister, Jessi, a sibling who forever yearned for a more harmoneous relationship with her brother. Happy or sad, good or bad, I can justifiably label Cal "colorful!"
