I remember GI Joes, Micronaughts, and the original Star Wars dolls... I mean, Action Figures. I remember going around the neighborhood with my best friend picking up bottles and cans to recycle for quarters so we could play Tempest all afternoon. I remember summer nights, when we could stay out til after dark thanks to the time change, playing kick the can. I remember pick up games of wiffel ball in the street. I remember when we all got plastic skateboards and had no frame of reference - so ended up skating around like dorks, flailing arms trying to keep our balance. None of my friends became skaters. I agree - it was just go out and entertain yourselves. Imagination was key. Being a kid was fun.
