For some reason this year, I don't know if it's age or what, I've been drifting back in the past. I am the youngest of 9 children. No, Mom and dad didn't have cable. They both loved the season but both seemed to forget the madness involved with that many people in the house. Yelling kids, fights, running through the house, stealing cookies.

  As I've mention before I have a friend that works at Gamestop. When he's there I'll run in for a quick visit since my favorite bookstore and coffee shop is only a couple of doors down. this time it was in the afternoon so the  Mom's were out in force, and I couldn't help but notice some of the quesions he was having to field.
