Dalin -- Yeah, I remember that! Thanks for that post. Makes me wonder what the current crop of youngsters will think about in 30 years, and how their memories will compare with reality 30 years hence. It makes me remember some things too. I remember 12 cent comics -- Superman, Batman, Green Hornet, Classics Illustrated, World's Finest, et al. I remember picking up coke bottles from the side of the schoolyard fence and turning them in for a few pennies so I could buy comics, and, if I had enough money, maybe hot balls or a 3 cent fudgecicle or a giant tootsie roll (were they 3 cents or a nickel)? I remember going out all day with my friends and making our own entertainment with a beaten-up softball or a pair of home-made stilts, or a piece of chalk on the sidewalk. Parents didn't have to constantly entertain us. I remember the smell of the tar on a hot day that filled the cracks in the asphalt. I had forgotten about wax lips -- it is good to remember now. Am I the only one who remembers "monster cards?" What about those stickers we used to get in Mad Magazine? I remember my neighbor's brand new Camero the first year when they came out. I think it was 66, coulda been 65. I think he washed it every day. I remember going to a public high school in a middle class neighborhood where only about 2 people out of a class of 365 dropped out.

Dalin, & everybody, I loved all those memories. I've been meaning to resurrect some of that in my next book and this proves to me I should. Here's a few: milk in quart bottles delivered twice a week at your back door, with corrugated cardboard tops you'd peel off, and drink the cream. Slinkies, crouch at the top of the stairs and watch them walk down of their own accord, then one day yours disappears, because your little brother's is broken so he steals yours. As if he thot nobody would notice! The night HE disappears and nobody knows where he's gone and finally he is discovered curled up asleep in a kitchen cabinet, with an empty carton of ice-cream. Now THERE'S adventure for you. Schwinn bicycles with bells to warn everybody you are coming down the quiet suburban streets. Pez. Fishnet stockings. The sorrel growing wild in your friend's backyard, which you like to eat. Shortsheeting her older brother's bed because he's so cute & he's a PAINTER & unfortunately he has a girlfriend. Then he puts grape jelly on your bicycle seat, so you put peanut butter on his bicycle handlebars. Etc! <g>
