Sea fishing from an open 12' dinghy from the North Cornish coast, after mackerel about 16 hours per day. The only care was keeping the boat clean and buying the fuel for the outboard.
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Gaming (D&D), getting in trouble with my brothers, stargazing sitting on our home's roof with our telescope, sledding down our street hoping noone would drive up and spending portions of our summer at Gramp's lake home.

Enjoyed driving trains on the night shift. Watching London go quiet with the lights going off (Before everything became 24/7).

It really was tranquil.

Afternoon coffee with my Oma Collofong as I got older and games with Opa Collofong when I was young. I am still hanging on to the cards, he beat me with and the cups Oma and I shared. Fuzzy do you have a tissue handy?

When I was young, candy bars were bigger, MUCH cheaper, and tasted like heaven...unlike the waxy nasty stuff they sell today. (And even cheap Twinkies tasted pretty good...especially the banana creme ones).
