Write a letter in cursive, legible handwriting.

Go door to door in several neighborhoods on Halloween, Trick or Treating for pillowcases full of candy.

Make a mixtape on cassette of favorite songs and give it to your girlfriend.

Go through all twelve years of primary and secondary education and never once touch a calculator. (I wasn’t allowed to use one until I got to college)

Buy smokeless powder and slow-burn fuse at the local gun shop, and take it home to make grenades with 35mm film canisters.
Then throw them at each other in the woods behind our house.
