Being a drummer in our local Boys Brigade Bugle Band.
No one slept in on the first Sunday of the month when we paraded.
I wanted to be a bugler, but I had 'buck teeth' and my mother thought blowing a bugle would make them worse.
Left me as a lifelong 'finger tapper' which now drives everyone mad!

The catering company?
Not sure. The casino is buying up everything within a breath of their parcel and developers are throwing up 600 unit apt complexes everywhere else in area

I took off at age three-and-a-half when they brought my new younger brother home. Got on that tricycle and went about a mile up to a park where a cop eventually found me and brought me back from Killer Hill. Just a lump though outside of a suburb of Milwaukee.

That was my first ride in a cop car.

Just came across this childhood memory related article. This Is Where Your Childhood Memories Went Tricky stuff. It's complicated.

At one of the Country Clubs I belonged to, we served Richie's at the half-way house. There's nothing that will cure the shame of a double-bogie on a hot summer's day, better than a Richie's Watermelon Classic Italian Ice.

I played a course in Myrtle Beach years ago that served fish chowder at the back nine. Strange choice of fare on a hot, humid round. But then again, I can't explain why people rush out to supermarkets to buy milk when a storm prediction is for power loss

2018 World Series. Of course, when it's 33 degrees in the stands in Fenway, the menu has to change.
