cowboy up

Funny, the toys I bought for Katie, Kelsey is now playing with. The toys I thought Katie would like but didn't, Kelsey is all about today. Kelsey likes to wear that old red cowboy hat I gave to Katie when she was around her age. Kelsey has been riding her horse throughout the clinic this past week. She likes to go bang bang. She's a sweet kid.

I dread the day when kids no longer ride stick ponies and shoot make believe guns at the bad guys.

I played army all the time growing up. Mark Condra and I fought crack troops of Nazi SS through out the neighborhood's occupation.

There were these three brothers that lived behind me on Cliff Road, the Adams Family. Those boys didn't take to modern warfare like I did but always wanted to play Cowboys and Native Americans. We cowboys called them Injuns back in the good old days. Dennis, Timmy and Eddie each had their own Federal fedora. We'd circle the wagons (radio flyers) and have countless last stands. My Thompson Submachine gun sure did come in handy. Those Injuns didn't see what as coming.
