I'm back



For those who read my blog, I'm back.
For those who didn't read it, shame on you, but welcome to the show.

You want to know what I miss. I miss field trips.
I miss having my parents sign a permission slip allowing me to do god knows what, so I wouldn't be the schools responsibility in case I was mangled by a goat.
I also miss the anticipation of taking a 3-hour, 55-mile bus ride to the middle of nowhere.
I miss taking a lunch that mom packed with care.

I still remember one field trip I took; I attended John Tower elementary by the way, where we went to an old train station.
What a good time. We were able to walk around the razor sharp, rusted insides of the train and do what we pleased in small groups.

I don't know why that little memory stuck with me so many years, but I still remember the first time I actually got on a train.
It was earlier this year, with my dad, on our way to a Chicago Cubs game.

Where are the permission slips?
