I grew up in Florida, so of course there was Disney World.
But let me tell you about the most magical place of all.
It was the 7-11 near my house.
What, you ask, was so great about that?
Well, I'll tell you.
Every week came the arrival of fresh Archie comic books.
Archie, Laugh, PEP, Archie's Pals 'n' Gals, Jughead, Reggie and Me, Betty & Veronica, and on and on. Twenty cents each, and I'm here to tell you, I've never had a bigger thrill in my life than going there and checking out all the new titles, taking them home and losing myself in their carefree teenage adventures.
I shan't have an experience like that ever again.
But I can come close: Now that I'm in my 40s, I can go online and buy Archie comics on eBay cheap and totally relive my childhood.
Is that pathetic?
