I found out on my last birthday that it's the perfect time to start my second childhood. I can't remember the first. I also recently found eBay and Flickr. Now there's a combination that will make your credit card spontaneously combust. Here we find child-at-heart people buying and taking pictures of all kinds of great TOYS and sometimes their toys travel with them!!!!
Where do we find those toys? On eBay of course. Toys and dolls I have never seen before. Dolls that I used to have like Chatty Cathy and Barbie, most without haircuts and measles. New dolls and toys from other countries. So now I have my digital camera ready and my growing list of toys.
Here's were the monkeywrench comes in. First you have to have a screen name for all this on-line e-mailing, buying, posting, and blogging etc. etc. You can't use your real name because it's a scary world out there for your second childhood. So on my list of favorite toy animals we have bears, pigs, and monkeys, so far. We also happened to be traveling this past weekend from Richmond to Madison Heights and Concord and whizzing by us just off the road is Monkeywrench Dr. That's it!!!! I can sometimes, more than I would like to admit, throw a MONKEYWRENCH into things. And the rest they say is history.
