re: Building Forts...Classic Childhood Pastime

Built many a fort and treehouses with my trusty hatchet and machete. From about 6 years old on, my mom would make me get out of the house after watching tv for about an hour in the morning. Wasn't allowed back inside until suppertime. Occasionally, she'd make some lemonade or tea and set it out on the porch. But for the most part, the water hose was the drink of choice. Grew up on a 3 mile long road and all the boys on the road would get together on the weekends and we'd camp out all weekend. This went on until I was in high school and started chasing the wommenz.
