Reading was/is such solitary activity and that unless your parents kept you inside it was naturally hard not to get out and do stuff with other kids instead. Plus the fact that there just were a lot more other kids.<br /><br />Wouldn't it be cool if all the communication technology somehow got kids together in a positive way?chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-91803600990162552952010-04-02T20:09:01.152-07:002010-04-02T20:09:01.152-07:00It seems that kids played a lot more back in the d...It seems that kids played a lot more back in the day. We were always outside playing stickball or fist ball or Johnnie on the Pony.<br />Nowadays the kids all seem to stay inside and play video games.<br /><br />I remember I went to my brother-in-laws a couple of years ago and I said to his son "Hey get your football and we will toss it around on the lawn.

He was much older and nobody had ever seen him but we all "knew" that he came out at night and did weird things. <br /><br />I still think it was the other gang. They were meaner and liked to swear a lot. A couple years later I got into a fight with one them after or during a game of tackle football. It was classic bare-knuckled fistfight-ringed by a dozen or so boys. I think it was a draw but blood was drawn.chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-31671742431703381942010-03-31T15:28:10.285-07:002010-03-31T15:28:10.285-07:00Oh we had our suspects: it was either Looney-bins ...<i>Oh we had our suspects: it was either Looney-bins Johnson or else the rival "gang" a couple blocks away.<br /><br /></i>They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
