Reply #26: Hi Aristus -- Thanks so much for your complements and adding that little story!

I read Wonder Woman, Superman, and the Archie comics -- and sometimes delved into the superheroes of the Marvel group. One of my favorite booklets was entitled: How to Kiss. I learned quickly and practiced it every time I could!!!! Steady date came along in my mid-teens.

When the radio serials played after I got home and into the evening, I was mostly listening to The Green Hornet, The Lone Ranger, Let's Pretend, Amos 'n' Andy, Fred Allen, The Life of Riley, Fibber McGee and Molly, Walter Winchell, and Louella Parsons, that gossipy lady! So much of radio filled my days. The women who worked for my mother introduced me to Stella Dallas, and other soap operas. More than one of them were baseball fans, so I heard the ballgames featuring the Boston, New York, and other city teams.

I didn't have any siblings, so my life was kind of solitary. After school, I rode my bicycle, took care of a couple of horses for a while, and a little parade of kitties. Sometimes, I waited with my dog Bambi -- and later, Dolly, at the corner of NE 12th Avenue and 131st Street in North Miami, Florida -- close to where my parents purchased a little home on a 100 ft. x 100 ft. lot. Both of my parents worked in my Dad's legal office. Mom would get home, make a simple dinner, and we'd all eat together.

Nice to hear from you, Aristus. Have a wonderful summer weekend! Let me know how you like "The Dark Knight." I hope you don't suffer from motion sickness, especially while watching IMAX. The experience was pretty intense for me -- and I had a headache and nausea for several hours afterwards.
