More Things We Miss

Jan 15

Written By Neil Offen

Being Able to see the milky way

Greeting someone at the gate

School snow days

Sitting on the stoop

Candy stores

Not worrying about too much caffeine … or sodium … or sugar… or alcohol

Being up all night, by choice

And more of what we don’t miss

Watches we had to wind

Dissecting frogs

Suitcases without wheels

The Dewey Decimal Card system

Spiro Agnew

Unscratchable CDs that were scratched

Being at work at 8 or 9

For more of what we do or don’t miss see . . .
