    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Welcome! 1st post in how many years?

    Neighborhood kickball, wiffleball, capture the flag, and football. We just went outside and played. Nowadays my kids wonder what I have planned.

    We saw our music go from vinyl to 8-track to casssette to CD to MP3.
    We were there when Punk Rock was invented.
    We used to light up the arenas with our Bic lighters or matches because all of us had Bic lighters or books of matches in our pockets all of the time.
    We survived Disco (and STILL hate Disco to this day).
    Cops that pulled us over and thought we had too much alcohol in our system, made us sleep it off in our cars.
    We remember when elections came every 4 years... the shitty commercials only lasted about a month and after the election, we all became Americans again.
    We were in mosh pits in 1983.
    We remember when McDonald's used to sell actual hamburgers.
    We played on some pretty fucking dangerous playground equipment.
    We used to deliver newspapers from the handlebars of our Sting-Rays.
    ...
    Unfortunately... we are also the ones who are handing over a pretty fucked up future to you youngsters. Sorry.
