Coming home from school, making a chocolate milk and then settling down to watch Voltron and He-Man.  I would quickly flick the spoon back and forth just under the surface creating bubbles.  Then I would just eat the bubbles and prolong my chocolate milk experience.

Saturday morning cartoons.  You can get cartoons anytime now which cheapens the whole Saturday morning cartoon experience.  When you can roll out of the rack and see cartoons any time of the day, then there is no fun in getting up early on a Saturday to catch Scooby’s All Star Laff-A-Lympics over a bowl of plain Cheerios.  Yeah, we couldn’t have sugar cereal unless, you know, we were on vacation at Grandpa’s house and he was the one buying the cereal.  It was at Grandpa’s house in Tennessee that my love affair with Froot Loops began.

Staying up-to-date with all the new movies by actually seeing them in the theater and not on DVD a year after everyone else is done talking about them.

Our Atari 2600.  Pitfall, Adventure, Combat, Breakout, Missle Command, Defender… and I could never ever beat Raiders of the Lost Ark.
