1987. I was eight-years-old. As was the tradition, my little sister, two cousins, and I had posted up at Baachan's house for the summer.

For us kids, it was heaven. Cable TV in every room. Free reign of the stocked fridge and pantry. Skateboards, remote control cars, drawers full of puzzles and toys, a full-size basketball hoop. But for those two months in '87, it was all about one thing.
