Time for some quality childhood memories.
I'm skipping to my 2nd last year on Way Ave. It was like...1959....would have been about 11. Picture this;a cold ,dark,gray,snowy day in Cleveland.Late December near Christmas.It's 4 PM....no one to play with.So I take my football and go to the schoolyard.I'm pretending to be Jim Brown,Bobby Mitchell and Ray Renfro. No..not all at he same time. First,I would be Mitchell and return a kick off 103 yards. Then I would be Brown,plowing through a whole aand evading lb's ...only to be pulled down from behind at the ankles after a 44 yard gain.Getting tackled in the snow was fun. I'd kick the pig who tackled me and then go back to the huddle...slowly and mockingly---like Brown did. Then I would be Renfro....blazing by corners and making a great leaping catch....and falling to the snow with the corner all over me.62 yard gainer. Would spit on the corner as I got up. Keep in mind I am also announcing the play by play as I do all this. "Pitch to Brown, sweeping left end...Hickerson wipes out a linebacker!...Brown's to the 30,35,40,45..look at that mothah fucl<ah go!!...50.....40....30.....20....10.....touchdown! !!!" Ah wuz good!! Then..about the middle of the 3rd quarter I see it. The homes that rimmed the schoolyard as if they were always watching what was going on inside that schoolyard-------well they were!! People in windows, standing in driveways....cheering; "Heah we go Brownies, HEAH WE GO!!" Eauxh MINE GOT!! Said I!! I was very shy. So embarrassed in looking like a complete nincompoop----I ran home. It would be 6 weeks before I did this again. Only this time I made dem shoo it was 6PM....in the night---when it's dark.

Trying to be a rain cloud over my pararde? You can't. We here in Cleveland enjoy all 4 seasons to their fullest.One can freeze half to death in their basement,one can be basking in sun on the driveway, one can cruise Old River Road and be dazzled by the color symphony the trees play....and of course---we have spring. More fucl<ing goes on here in spring that it does in Sara'sToga in late summer. Happy?
