Rubik's Cube.

:laugh: Its funny you mention that, because when I found Larry's sticks the other day (see my journal) my old Rubiks cube was also in the box. So I pulled that out also and found that I still remember how to solve it, just not as quickly. :nerd: :laugh:

I remember my first two concerts of my life in 1982/83 costing me $13 a piece! Then thinking my Police tickets at $18 later in 83 were expensive!! :laugh: My how times have changed.
