Does anyone know how to play tag anymore?

Playing tag, catching lightning bugs, walking to 7-11 for a Slurpee, riding bikes just for the fun of it, looking for four leaf clovers...
Kids used to cry to stay outside, now they cry because you want them to go outside.

I never see kids outside just playing anymore. Too many camps, too many sports, too many planned activities. No imagination, no sense of adventure, no creativity.

I hope Ethan can find a circle of friends that actually like to play. Even a little non-criminal mischief would make me smile.

Now, I'm thinking maybe sitting on their butt's playing PS2's not so bad ;)

Joyously roaming through life. Meeting its topographical challenges, and facing each with a sarcastic wit, and an impetuous need to face even more bumps, dips, pits and peaks. How the hell else did I end up with a 22 year old, a 20 year old and a 4 year old?
