Hmm..one memorable Christmas I got:
A Roy Rogers bedspread and a pair of RR six-gun cap pistols - guess that's why I've always found
A Christmas Story so funny
The
Visible Man model - I ended up painting his liver the wrong color when I was building the model
A gas-powered model airplane, it was a Navy Corsair, damned near took my first 2 fingers off with that one, started it up right in the kitchen...
And a trumpet...
In retrospect I suppose my folks were trying to inspire me to pick a career - either a doctor, a cowboy, a pilot or a...
musician, I guess, although they were widely known to smoke a lot of reefer at the time...I dunno...
So in spite of all that I ended up being...honestly, I'm not sure what really.
Guess I'm still trying to figure out what I wanna be when I grow up...
