Time-lapsed Blogography Day: Thirty-Two Years Ago

Thirty-two years ago today, on March 9, 1990, I was a 10-year-old in the sixth grade at James K. Polk elementary school. I spent the night at the house of my friend, Mike Buns, who I lost track of somewhere around 9th grade when he transferred schools.

Sleepovers at Mike's house followed a standard pattern. My dad would drop me off in the evening and I would go out to Pizza Hut with his parents and younger sister. There were usually "Book It!" vouchers to redeem for a personal pan pizza and I would always get pepperoni and black olives. After Pizza Hut, we'd head over to Erol's for the night's movie. I don't recall what we watched this particular night, but I do recall seeing Men at Work at least three times with the Buns family once it had finally arrived on VHS. After the movie, we would retire to the basement guest room for games of Loderunner on his Apple II computer and then fall asleep.

Friday night sleepovers never lasted long into the weekend, because my dad would always show up bright and early (usually around 8 AM) to pick me up on the way to do grocery shopping (either Shopper's Food Warehouse or Price Club). Many times, I'd roll right out of a sleeping bag and into the car without breakfast!
