Todd, Bart and myself were inseparable as kids. We hung out constantly, always up to no good! It was awesome, and a different time. Our favorite playground was the prairie between the canal and 116th St, now a golf course? We called it "the creek". Back when we were little, it seemed like an endless forest, full of mystery and adventure.

We'd build forts, climb trees, have bonfires, fish in "the pits", build ramps and make tracks to ride our bikes on, play under and on the train bridge, catch snakes, all of that stuff. Good times. Afterwards we'd always go to Todd's, because that's where the junk food and Pepsi was! Remember the Pepsi bottles in the breezeway? lol. Or the bloodhounds? There were originally 3 hounds: Moira, Mojo, and....I can't remember the name of the other female. Todd named his dog Mojo: an homage to Jim Morrison, of course. 

Things got more "interesting" once we got into high-school, but I'll stop there. Somebody else can fill in the blanks! :)  We're heading out to the can; who is going to stop at Skip's? hahaha

So long, old friend.
