Peter, I'm sorry, but I must grow up....

I just had another Peter Pan moment. I was walking down the street not long ago and saw a little boy and girl playing in their backyard. They had a bunch of chairs out forming a circle and they were standing on the chairs with swords in their hands and tea towels tied around their heads. Pirates, of course. I really miss doing that.

Wendy: My unfulfilled ambition is to write a great novel in three parts about my adventures.
Aunt Millicent: What adventures?
Wendy: I've yet to have them, but they will be perfectly thrilling.

I'm convinced that there was point in my life where I was in Neverland. But that feels like a terribly long time ago now. And quite unfortunately, it's a little late to go back.
