If I wanted to see a music video, they didn't exist.
I remember when games only came on boards.
I remember when you didn't have to pay for cable because there were only a handful of channels and were broadcast OTA. Well to do people had antenna rotators.
I remember being 8 and going to my first Blackhawks game. There was a lot of smoke and burnt out buildings around the Chicago Stadium.
I remember being bored only when there was nobody else to play with, one friend always got Scarlet Fever in the Summer, a lot of the rest went off to Summer Camp.
I remember when 5 & dime stores sold bunnies at Easter that farmers had raised.
I remember being 6 and playing bowling in our long (to me) hallway with a clincher softball and plastic pins.
I remember my parents taking me with to a Parent-Teacher conference. My folks were told that I told the teacher I "couldn't read", which she said was untrue, I read very well. So my folks called me in and asked why I said that & I answered that "I can't read the newspaper" (meaning I couldn't fully understand all the words).
I remember going to "Ma's & Pa's Candy store" with a quarter and buying a bag full of candy, bullseye, slow pokes, black cows, root beer barrels, etc. Years later, I walked into a "By the Weigh" candy story, recognized that smell & was immediately taken back to being that kid.
Everyone had a black and white tv.
Time passed far too quickly.
