The Boxer

Do you remember being a kid and finding nothing more fascinating than a pile of boxes? I can. Boxes could be made into anything. Cardboard is pretty good material for a fort, a submarine, a tank, a pool, and just about anything else, really. A roll of tape made things even all the more interesting. I remember an Uncle who worked abroad came to visit once and with him came six or seven shipping boxes full of chocolates and other goodies. The other stuff was neat but I clearly recall wanting the boxes more. I had quite a number of matchbox cars then and I could not wait to get them into a small world of their own. Boxes. Childhood. Bliss.
