Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 3, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsMay 3, 1999

I am great at losing mone! I even lost the y on that M word.After all, I’m a teacher,a member of the hardest working, all-for-love and no money profession. We do it for the kids, and for the feeling that we make a difference (even while starving).

My first kiss as I would…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 2, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsMay 2, 1999

My first kiss as I would define it today was over a checker game, a bottle of Chateau La Salle (the fanciest cheap wine you could by for $2.50) and Neil Young singing his After the Gold Rush album in the background. The house was warm and cozy, it was quiet, we had our Jack in the Box Tacos ready for nibbling, and the kiss just came. It was the perfect kiss, the perfect moment and the perfect memory.

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 2, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsOctober 20, 2014

Being rather uncoordinated, Chinese jumprope was just my cup of tea! We did the colored-rubberbands knotted together thing and went through a series of “moves,” always in sets of ten. But despite my inherent clumsiness, I still loved regular jumprope because I loved the chanting– “Keep the kettle boiling, have to be on time” with the continuous flow of girls through the turning rope… “Ice cream soda with a cherry on top/What’s the first initial of your sweetheart/Is it A, B, C….” Sigh…. no wonder I was skinny then…..

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 1, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 13, 2014

I remember as a youngster in grade shcool, we would go to someones party and they would play Spin the Bottle. Everyone sat in a circle, then one person would spin the bottle and whoever it turned to would get a hug or a kiss on the cheek. Some times it was a little embarresing, as there were both boys and girls there, and I was very shy wnd turned red as a beet when the bottle turned to me. I sat holding my breath, hoping it would point to someone else. Ah, what memories!

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 1, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsMay 9, 2019

Just saw the movie, “A Walk on the Moon.” What a nostalgia fest—Woodstock, Richie Havens, Joni Mitchell, the moonwalk,pacifism and of course—bungalow colonies. Anyone go to a bungalow colony for the summer?

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 1, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsJanuary 3, 2020

BOB— Close—I think they were called Pensey Pinkies. In my neighborhood, we used to go in cycles, sometimes “Spaldeen” was the pink ball of choice, and sometimes, we went through a Pensey Pinky phase.

Hey Joel – is that you?…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 1, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsOctober 18, 2014

Hey Joel – is that you? I still remember standing in the playground outside of Building 18 in Rochdale, your pinky pointing at me and trembling, thinking you’ll finally win one of those thousands of bets we made. But, posting as “Anonymous” – I guess you’re still not sure, after all these years.

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on April 30, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsApril 30, 1999

My first real kiss came when I dated at age 18 Marsha Goldman.The first time I saw her I was mystified.It was a dark night.She was standing outside her Crown Heights apartment building.Her blond hair shone against the dark sky.She was a sight to behold.Several months later we officially met and started dating.She was a wonderful girl.I just failed to realize how wonderful she was.We had a silly arguement and both of us were too proud to say I’m sorry.I’ve regretted that mistake all my life.
