Of course I'll always be a tourist, though I've lived here 20 years. The

children on our cul-de-sac are too yuppified to play king of the hill.

Instead they are all into virtual reality and play Mighty Morphin' Power

Rangers. Why be King of the Hill when you can be Master of the Universe?

Dennis (whatever happened to Ring o leevio, or however you want to

transcribe it--a game apparently so deadly that it was forbidden in our

Queens schoolyards way back then).
