texture · Weston early childhood, B.S.

When: Early childhood at 36 Belle Ave., Weston MA (before the E.T.A. years).
What: Hal remembers "unending hours of blocks and balls" on childhood hardwood — tangrams, See 'N Spell — with huge-headed Mario hanging in for games he could not play, "for make-believe in which he had no interest other than proximity to his brother."
