Things (or experiences or foods) you loved in your youth. They may still be around, and they may not. And please don’t bold this category title. Thanks in advance!

1. Going to the corner store with 30 cents, and getting five gumballs, two packs of baseball cards, a comic book, and getting change back.
2. Flying. I remember looking down at the clouds over the Pacific on my second plane flight, age 5.
3. Friday evenings Dad took the family over to Nick’s, where a kindly old Greek made me “two 'amburgers, no onion, 3 pickle, 4 pickle” and I had a cream soda from a cold glass bottle. And fries.
