The life of Weldon Clears is described in his book, Another Time memoir. In 1947, Clears was born in New York City. He enjoys exploring new places and taking on new experiences. He was born during the Vietnam War. In his memoir, the author describes being drafted into the Vietnam War and his attempts to resist enlistment. Clears has worked numerous odd jobs as well as white-collar jobs. Follow the author as he tells the story of his early 1990s adventure.
 
This is a captivating story that captured my interest. I admire Clears' way of life. He makes the most of each moment and lives in the now. The author tells the tale of his life in New York City in the 1990s, a time when conditions were substantially different from those in use today. Thanks to his superb writing, I had the impression that I was traveling the world with him, visiting numerous cities, towns, and villages. As we read about the author's life, he was direct and truthful. His strengths and weaknesses are shown to us, including his Newport Beach arrest, his romantic life, and his capacity for situational adaptation.
 
I was able to understand life in the 1990s through the author's eyes, and I concluded that those were better times than the current era we live in now. After reading Clears's story, I felt like I was missing out on a lot of things. And I realized that I haven't experienced many intriguing things. His memoir has inspired me to rewrite the story of my life. I will state that the author is an optimist and a risk-taker. He had no idea what he was getting into when he started boxing at a young age, but he was prepared to give it everything he had, even though he constantly bled from the nose when he took a hit. Furthermore, he was unaware of what a marathon event was, but he nonetheless entered and ran in the New York City Marathon while his friend Peter doubted his ability to do so. The author has traveled much during his life as an explorer. In addition to Haiti, he has visited Paris and Egypt.
 
The author's active social life is what I find most endearing about the book. Because of his friendliness, he makes many acquaintances who later turn out to be of great assistance to him. I adore the book's illustrations as well. It helped me quickly picture what the author was portraying. One of the themes readers should benefit from is the author's uniqueness as a person who lived his life to the fullest. Life is precious, and each day counts. It is now up to us to utilize it effectively.
 
There is nothing in this book I found unappealing. The book is well-written, and readers have a lot to learn from the author’s story. As a result, I rate the book four out of four stars. The book is exceptionally well edited. I found no errors in it. I recommend this gripping story to readers who enjoy stories set in the 1990s. The book will transport the reader back in time.

I think life in the 1990s is better than life in this generation. Weldon has motivated me also to live for the moment. Thanks for the insightful review.

It is quite interesting to read about events in times past. The early 1990s was a time of major evolutions around the world. The author has written well.

Although reading about the events of the 1990s isn't what I like, I'm curious to know how he survived the Vietnam war. Thanks and great job on the review.

What a fine book. The author's ability to quickly make acquaintances is admirable but it also calls for caution. There are many great things that happened in the early 1990s before the wars came along, just like the author's life has shown.

Telling a story about the 1990s? That sounds interesting interesting another thing I find interesting is the author's social life , people with social life tend to have many acquitances. Life is truly short

The fact that the author always tried to prevent being enlisted for war has some humor in it. You did a good job with the review. Great review
