The First Step:
Hi’ Steppin
Paul Undres, the baby boomer’s baby boomer. Born to hit college in the nineteen sixties, Paul experienced the hippie counter culture, the Air Force, corporate “normalcy,” but most of all—time on his hands and nothing to do. What could possibly go absurd? Paul’s choices took him on adventures, far and wide. Lots of trials. Lots of tribulations. Life’s absurdities are bad enough, but spice ’em up a bit with drugs and alcohol, and you get—Paul Undres! Yikes!! Eventually, Paul finds himself clear of drugs and alcohol. He comes to see the humor in the stupid things we tend to do. He’s lost the angst of taking things too seriously. Yeah, he doesn’t do that any more. Good thing too, because life’s absurdities go on, as you can probably tell.
