My wife, on our dog walk tonight, were remarking on how lucky we were to be kids in our times - whether it was trick or treating all over creation, toys that took imagination to play with (and in turn fostered creativity), goofy TV shows (not reality shows)....just loved it.

am at an interesting place - 55, bounced out of the corporate world, and now wondering what I want to be when I grow up!
