Young girl in mid-air on a dubious rope swing. Her mouth is open, and she is obviously having fun
It has come to my attention that I haven't posted visual joy in a while. Here is young me on the dubious but awesome rope swing over the bluff that used to be at Milo McIver State Park in Oregon. Dear danger slide, that's a see and a raise. :) #cheapthrill #genxchildhood #raisedferal
After school: the killing hour.
What's more dangerous in Lord of the Flies: bullies or your friends? BOTH.
Bullies had: lead pellet airguns, ninja stars, M80s & cherry bombs that'd blow a finger off.
Your friends? All of the above, plus stupid dares.

Just three? In my day, we could've squeezed a half dozen Gen-X kids in that cargo bed. #growingupgenx #genx #genxchildhood
This is the equation for the perfect weekend: Pajamas, a beanbag chair, and sitting too close to the TV while playing video games. Goddamn I miss those days. #genxchildhood
When I was a kid, this is what I thought successful, well-adjusted adults looked like. #genx #genxchildhood #growingupgenx
Every time I listen to squabble up, I get the urge to go roller skating.

Not the #80s, but we all watched it growing up. 55 years ago today, Sesame Street (1969-present) debuted. #GenXChildhood #SesameStreetDay
