I remember climbing over seats into the back of our station wagon and sticking my feet out the rear window while my parents barreled down the Jersey Turnpike to the shore. How the hell did any of us survive to adulthood?

This is why we’re not traveling. People be morons.

Now if someone could just tell me how I can apply Dizzy Izzy…. my life will be complete.

Good grief, I hope not. That will seriously impede my martini consumption.

Oh yeah! The back of the station wagon was a playground for the three of us. I don’t even think it HAD seat belts. But, cars were made out of metal back then…

I grew up in a Ford Falcon wagon, no seatbelts, dimmer switch on the floor and vacuum wipers.

Once, we left after midnight to go on vacation. My dad put me, a pillow and a blanket in the back ov the wagon and packed the luggage around me. He’d probably be arrested for that today.

I’m with you on our childhoods, seriously. I remember my elementary school playground equipment being made of metal baking in the sun all day, swings made out of chains that had bolts, teeter totters made of splintering wood, merry go rounds of pure molten metal that spun so fast we’d fall off. I mean it was fun but I too wonder how we survived our childhoods. My grandfather would let us sit on the tailgate of his truck WHILE HE WAS STILL DRIVING it!

Tara practiced the art of hooky bobbing as a kid. It’s a miracle she ever lived to see adulthood.

Got my second vaccine shot yesterday. Wore two masks to the venue but they (men in fatigues, so I wasn’t gonna argue) gave me a third one and insisted I put it over what I already had. Breathing was interesting…
