I wish I was upnorth in Ludington. So I could wake up, get dressed, grease my hair all up while listening to the Stray Cats. All to the smell of bacon and eggs cooking for breakfast. Soda'll yell, "Breakfast's ready, Pony!" And I'll come sit down at the round table that sits us four kids.
I'll ask, "Hey, where's Daddy?"
Mama'll answer, "He's still out on the boat. He was gonna take you, Sodapop, and Johnny fishing this morning but you wouldn't wake up."
"Eh, that's okay. I'm sure we'll go fishing later."
Then, as the day goes on, we'll all go play outside and run around in our Converse and shorts, with our bathing-suits on under our tank-tops. We'll drink our bottles of Pepsi and eat candy, then go swim in the lake a while. Then Dad will pull up in the boat and we'll ask him, "Did ya catch anything?"
Inevitably, he would catch a perch and tell us he caught a three-foot-long bass. He would eat something and then we'd all go to the dunes on the boat and play in the sand. Maybe even go swim in Lake Michigan. Brrr, freezing! And we'd NEVER watch TV or talk on the phone. Never. In fact, the only machine we'll have up there is our radio.
But anyway, as the sun goes down, we'll come home and light a bonfire. We'll all sit around it while the neighbors come and sit with us, and drink beers and play guitar and sing. Then we'll all get tired and go to bed to wait for the next day to come... Yeah, I can't wait....
