When I was young, I roamed the neighborhood with a motley crew
of boys (and one girl). Steve, Scott, Joy, Peter and the others rode bikes,
climbed trees, built forts, swam and played kick-the-can far into the summer
night, usually accompanied by that pesky girl. She chased us, we tolerated her.
It didn't help that she was faster than us and a better tree climber.
Fast-forward. We're now all spread far and wide, seeing each other rarely,
talking occasionally. She now tolerates us and is often the glue of
communication that holds us all together. Thanks for this morning, Amelia. The
boys from the West Side still have your back.
