watching american graffiti. what a wonderful classic. as innocent as it was in the early 60’s when this movie is taking place, it reminds me alot of growing up in blue springs in the early 80’s. i remember when i was 11 and 12 years old, on summer nights having the run of the neighborhood...till like, midnight, 1am. doing nothing but playing hide and seek. or night tag. or sitting on someones front steps...but mostly hide and seek. the innocence of childhood. the childish fear of darkness still beckoning.  in those days, we werent warned of perverts or freaks.  our neighborhood was our safe zone. neighbors knew neighbors. sure there were fistfights. but it was always ok. you won some, you lost some.


but the games played on.
