First place you slept overnight without a parent/guardian present.

1. Kendrick’s boarding house, Baton Rouge
2. Men’s Residence Center, Indiana University, Bloomington
3. A long-forgotten dorm at Columbia College, during orientation week
4. Bouton Hall, SUNY New Paltz, Orientation week, July 1976
5. My best friend’s house
6. My best friend John Smith’s house
7. My home (alone) sometime in (early) High School
8. YMCA camp (Mystic Lake, MI), the summer after fifth (I think) grade.
9. On a Continental Trailways bus, heading south out of Memphis.
10. At Boy Scout summer camp, June 1976
11. Gold Rush Days (school event) camping, 1974
12. Fifth grade overnight (one-nighter) science camp, 1970
13. The house I grew up in

My mother started working the overnight shift when I was 16. I suppose I sorta kinda had a guardian in that my 95 year old aunt lived with us, but she talked to her dead sister when she wasn’t asleep and couldn’t dial a phone, so I don’t think she was really in charge.  
Major Sex Scandals of the 21st century
