My sister is a scout too, even though i'm not anything like Jem. <BR/><BR/>Theres something about Mockingbird, that gets you thinking back to the times when we were all dusty and barefoot, and free. and played from daybreak till right after the 6:30 evening staff bus pulled in and it was time to go home. Everything was a season back then, nungoos, mangoes, jackfruit. Wearing funny looking bell-bottoms, tshirts that said <BR/>"1979 - year of the child". Catching velvet poochies and storing them in matchboxes. Scavenging used firecrackers to make a bonfire after diwali.<BR/><BR/><BR/>thanks for reminding me about mockingbird.

I have never had a real life figure like him to look up to, but I seea bit of those traits in various people I admire. <BR/>I have to read the book though just cos in these troubling times there is some semblance of hope or promise of hope and belief in ideals that stand the test of time.karmichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10973922761187532706noreply@blogger.com
