Hi Ernie, Yes, I agree. No one has ever had more fun than we did, playing hop scotch with my cousins at my grandparents' house on a Sunday afternoon, romping through the woods with my brothers and neighbor friends, or playing ball using a walnut wrapped in an old sock and a fence slat or other board for a bat. How can you top spelunking the local caves using tar paper for a light, or possum hunting on a brisk full moon in November?
