Our grandparents treated my mom and dad and me and my sister to a long weekend up the Pocono mountains in '76 I think it was. I remember the trip as a magical experience and so much fun. I hope nothing ever comes back to me and spoils it.

Getting into the High School for Creative and Performing Arts when I was 13. I worked so hard getting my first-ever portfolio together and fought my nerves to go to the review by the teachers. I think it was the first time I was proud of myself.

Those are the two that stand out. I can't really recall a third at the moment.

Pot
Speed
Acid

Not that I did any of that nonsense

Freedom and friends. That's all the high I needed in childhood.

As a young child, say from age 10 or so, I was able to wander about my neighborhood and the hills behind the houses all day. You just needed to be home for supper. I lived on an Army base, so it was fairly safe. That said, there were wild animals and reptiles in the hills. I encountered many snakes including rattlers. On an Army base it was also not uncommon to find old ordinance laying about. You were not supposed to mess with it of course.

This was one of the joys of my childhood that unfortunately is not possible for many or most these days. You can be shot if your kid walks half a block to the park by themselves.
