Walking into a ballpark and smelling fresh-cut grass before a baseball game.

I remember having to clean big, burlap sacks full of pinto beans for my mother. Used to hate it, but now I think back fondly about all of us being together.

The worst was having to clean the chili every year!

shooting my first ‘wabbit’ with a 40 year old single shot .22LR and then skinning, gutting and bleading it out. Tasted real good.

Yeah, I was considered a ‘Meat Eater’ in the military.

Semper Fi,

When I was around 4 years old, my Father would take me on a “Walking to New Orleans”, walk. I am not sure why I thought just a walk around the neighborhood was the same thing as Fats Domino’s song.

Listening to the Cincinnati Reds on the radio in with Dad in his garage, while stealing nips of his beer while he pretended not to look.

Pete Rose was King, I was 7 & Mom was horrified - which made it even more enjoyable for Dad & me.

Good times, miss my old man.

Never having to lock the doors to the house. Fresh milk delivered to your door. Accidently walking in on Jenny Smith in the bathroom and seeing my 1st uncovered breast...and liking it! Even the kick to the groin was worth it!
