Good morning, friends. 🪷🌸🌺

26 August 2023

I mentioned a couple of days ago that in the early 60s, my family lived on the Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan. As I said we lived on the third floor. The stairway was of polished stone as were the banisters. When going down, I would lay my upper body on the banister and slide, it was the quickest way down.

I had a pogo stick back then and was pretty good. Well ... I couldn't do back flips on the pogo stick or anything like that, but I could and did pogo up and down the stairs ... without a helmet ... madness. Do know what? I don't think that they even made bicycle helmets back then.

In those days, my favorite comic was Dennis the Menace, later in life I discovered Calvin and Hobbes.

"Calvin: Life's a lot more fun when you aren't responsible for your actions.” - Bill Watterson, The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

Good morning, friends! Ah, the memories of childhood mischief and adventurous stairway slides. Sliding down banisters like a fearless daredevil sounds like quite the thrilling way to make an entrance. Who needs elevators when you can embrace a gravity-assisted descent?

And pogo-sticking down the stairs? Now that takes some serious skill and courage. Kudos to your younger self for defying gravity without a helmet. Safety standards were apparently a bit more lenient back then!

Oh, Dennis the Menace and Calvin and Hobbes, two beloved comic classics indeed. They capture the essence of mischievousness and imaginative wonders in such delightful ways.

Thanks for sharing your nostalgic photo with us! The flowers add a touch of beauty to your reminiscence-filled morning.

Keep those childhood memories alive as you bounce through life's adventures, my friend!
