6 Things I miss
admin April 10th, 2008
1. Mr. Wizard.
He was SO AWESOME. Why can’t they play Mr. Wizard reruns? We have Andy Griffith, Momma’s Family, Scooby Doo and Little Miss Sunshine all running right now. Why not Mr. Wizard?
2. Naivete about the safety of vehicles.
After years of science and engineering classes and a few summers spent mopping up after things have gone wrong, planes (not really trains) and automobiles have become tools of death. Especially automobiles.
3. My grandparents.
You never fully appreciate them until they are gone and you realize your kids will never know who they were.
4. Summer break
How much I would enjoy three months to spend or waste in sunshine, in pools, selling koolaide, and making it back home for dinner before dark.
5. Having infinite career choices
What do I want to do when I grow up used to be a great game. Now it is serious. And the more choices you make, the fewer that are left in most cases. I just don’t really see me as a fighter pilot, or an Amazon explorer or a dictator any time soon.
6. Playing with the parachute.
Did anyone else do this in PE? That was so much fun. Even if I could buy one now, I just don’t think it would be the same.
