I miss sitting in my granddaddy's lap on the farm at Larrison Prairie at 5 in the morning drinking "coff" when I was about 4. It was mostly sugar and milk, but by God it was coff to me. I still remember the cup I drank out of, the feel of the table on my arms, the feel of grandaddy's lap..I wish I had that particular cup, but an uncle got it when g-daddy died...
Anyway, we'd drink our coff and go out to milk. Old-school, with a little stool (wasn't really a stool, kind of a worn out spool of some kind turned over) It was baaaarely light outside, and under the trees in the milkin shed it was still dark as night. hard to step when there's craters in cow poop made by hooves the night before. You might fall, you might break something, you might just get wet. Take your pick. Puttin the hay into the trough in front, putting hobbles on her if she was a kicker. Standing in front of Granddaddy while he showed me how to get the milk out, then started doin it myself. Turned around to show him but he was gone. I felt like a real cowboy then, lemme tell you. I told about milking the cow myself for the rest of the week. I only got maybe a cup out before I tired out, but that's still "Milking The Cow" as far as I'm concerned. I miss my grandaddy and nana tonight.

I miss endless hours of free time to explore, discover, think, feel. I miss the anticipation of growing up to be tall enough for my feet to reach the floor when seated in a chair. I miss the lack of cynicism and angst in my soul.
Most of all, I miss my mom.

Buying a pack of baseball cards for a quarter, and putting the duplicates that nobody wanted to trade for in my bike spokes to make a 'motorcycle' noise when I rode.
Reading superhero comics that were always complete in one issue - no 6-issue 'story arcs' or incredibly complex back-stories...just Superman or the Avengers or Spiderman beating up on the bad guys. Coming home on weekday afternoons and watching a black & white episode of The Adventures of Superman, or the Lone Ranger, or Robin Hood (with Richard Greene)...a different show every day of the week. Riding down to the Pruitt theatre with my sister every Saturday afternoon for the matinee, parking our bikes out front (no locks), seeing the movie for 35 cents, and popcorn was a dime a bag.

Now we all need to sit down to the Food Network nostalgia hour and cry. I watched the specials on advertising last night and remembered nearly ALL of it from my childhood.
I never realized that I was living in the "good old days". Huh. Whadda ya think about that? Brian

I just miss the innocence of it all..
the world may have been an ugly place 30+ years ago, but I didn't know much about it.

Doing wheelies on my stingray.
Of course, there are some advantages to living in a new millenium, like the new Stingray
