Dec 2011

and we lived in Atlanta and had this little B/W tv and my dad calling me to the living room to watch the local news tracking Santa on their radar. This would have been 66~67...I was mesmerized and that is still one of my favorite childhood memories.

I tried to get my kids into it but I don;t think they were ever as impressed by the technology as I was. They had handheld game devices with more pizzazz than some grainy kinda santa silhouette flying across a round radar screen. Rotten kids.
