Ahhhh the activity bus...

Come on, who knows what I'm talking about? I drove past my old high school this evening and saw a bus pull out. It reminded me of the days when I would have to go to school all day, go to field hockey practice, then ride the activity bus home. The activity bus sucked! It was for the whole district so even though I lived only about 5mins from school I was always the last to be dropped off! The bus went to the farthest stops first and then came back around. I remember trying to do homework on the way. Most of the time, especially when it was dark, I would have to do everything in power not to fall asleep!

Some nights if I was lucky, I would call my mom collect from the pay phone at the top of the stairs as you walked into the building by the gyms. When they asked to say your name, my brothers or I would quickly say, "Mom pick us up!" It was a great way to call home to let mom she needed to come get us! Unfortunately most nights ended up on...
