My mum will testify to the hours upon hours that I would pitch and then field a ball against a wall, or steps, or whatever was around.

It was the fatherless only child's version of catch.

Building a tree house with my cousins (all boys) in the Maine woods.

I came downstairs on my birthday to find a fully constructed jungle gym in the living room.

Circling the field with a Farmall H and a drag at an age that would summon CPS these days.

My cousins and I would follow our Grandfather around while he mowed his huge lawn with his Farmall Cub. Like a Pied Piper. I was in high school before he let me drive it. It was fun. In college, I spent a summer with him, and a lot of time was spent sitting in the hot sun in that tractor seat, mowing his acres. Even that was fun.

Edit: Forgot this was supposed to be one sentence. Sorry.

Playing stupid games(including getting stuck up trees) with friends in a tiny nature reserve place almost every day in summer 2000.

Playing along the side of an old canal with my brother near where my grandparents live when I was 7 or 8, while my Mother and her parents chatted (we live almost 500 miles away, didn't see them very often)
