LAST WEEK's Friday Five.....

1. What were your favorite childhood stories?
I remember going to a small patch of woods that the neighborhood kids called 'Dead Man's'. It was just a hole in the wall string of bike trails. We would our bikes down there and race around the track like we knew what we were doing. It was a way for us to be on our own, away from our parents. The feeling of freedom was overwhelming.

I believe I even have a 1 1/2 inch scar on my right leg from a fall off the 5-6 foot jump they had.

2. What books from your childhood would you like to share with [your] children?
I don't remember and I think it would be a whole long time before I have kids.

3. Have you re-read any of those childhood stories and been surprised by anything?
no

4. How old were you when you first learned to read?
Who knows.

5. Do you remember the first 'grown-up' book you read? How old were you?
No and No.
