Superman

I had a laser procedure on my eye last week. My son asked me afterwards if I had Superman vision. You would think he is seven or eight. He is twenty three.  Boys will be boys.

Naturally as a little boy I always wanted to be Superman. I would put on my long pajamas and then slip over them a pair of underwear. I didn't have red ones like the real Superman, I had to settle for white.  Then I put on long socks, also white, and a belt.  The best was my cape. I used a long bath towel tied around my neck. And with that I was Superman, jumping off my parents bed. The home made costume didn't seem to give me powers though.

I also liked to pretend I was an astronaut. I would lie on my  bedroom floor with my legs raised and resting on my bed pretending I was taking off.   That was not as much fun as being Superman though.

Boys will surely be boys.

Amen to that. When I was little, my neighbor Lenny Edelstein, tried to impress my 5 year old self by flying down a flight of stairs. I remember the look on his face as he took off. I also remember that it was the first time I had ever heard of or seen a cast.

So you broke down and had your eyes done. What's next?

I was more a Marvel comics guy rather than the D.C. stuff. Did like the Capt. America series. Also early on got into those mostly Steve Reeves (Hercules, Hercules UnChained) gladiator movies, especially The Trojan Horse and The Avenger (last two where he played Aeneas -- think Fred's blog on loyalty, which I wish I could link to -- sorry webmaster friend; I know this means more work on your overloaded plate).

My son and I pretended to be astronauts the other day at Mission: Space. It was awesome!
