Transcript:
Dill: What a great game! Alice: How do you play? Beni: You spin around for five minutes. Dill: Then you try to pick out your house and run to it as fast as you can! Girl: The winner makes it home safe. Dill: The loser staggers into the wrong house and probably barfs! Alice: What a great game!

The joys of living in a cul de sac! There were roundabouts similar to that in the subdivision I lived in at age 8 and 9. I think we played softball in them, though. I was dizzy enough without the Spinning Game….

Living in the suburbs, hundreds of identical houses, give or take the barfing.

There’s an adult variation of this game in which everybody sits in a circle with a bottle of scotch in the middle. Then someone drinks the scotch in one go and has to remember who he is.

This was one of my favorite things to do with my friends at recess from about second to fourth grades. Talk about a really, really really fun game with no point. :)

Einstein lived in a row of identical town houses at Princeton; could never remember his house number so painted his door red. Don’t know about him spinning or barfing.

Reading all these reruns really depresses me. I know Richard has a disease, so don’t think I don’tknow. That IS what depresses me. Is Richard okay? He hasn’t posted on his blog.Is he getting treatment again?Maybe. Is… Is this the end of cul de sac? I hope not…
