You could go on for days like that, talking story about back in the day, the smells, the troubles with army men and matchbox cars, the mystique, the nightmares, the 'presence', etc. If you wrote a book on it I would suggest it being no shorter than several thousand pages and many of us would read it through, again and again.....it's that kind of personal experience (though not that intense for alot of us) that is the reason many of us wind up here at TC. Thank you for taking me back to where you once were, sounds like a wonderful place to have explored as a child...and as an adult.
