Simple pleasures when you're a kid

Pong was the only video game there was when I was a kid. During summer vacation me and my friends would get up early and push a lawn mower around our neighborhood and knock on peoples doors and ask if they wanted their lawns mowed for two dollars. If we were lucky we would make 8 or $10.00 between the three of us and then the next day we would ride out bikes a few miles to our downtown pizza parlor and order a small pizza, play Pong and watch old Abbot & Costello movies they showed for free. This was a big event for us.

Finding “secret places” in the park or woods that everybody knows about but lets you think are your own hidden fortresses, because you are little and real exploring of unknown places has to wait a few years.
