When I was a kid we played outside all day. And in summer, all the kids in the neighborhood, (usually at least ten or twelve kids, ages five to fifteen) would gather every evening after supper to play Kick-the-Can.

Regarding "Kill 'Em, But Watch Your Language" (Metro, Nov. 3): I take exception to Daniel Ruth's column on coaches who curse. I have always been taught that people who use curse words are uneducated and have a poor vocabulary or they wouldn't need curse words to express themselves. ...more
