You know when I was a kid my two brothers and I had a favorite game which we call the I want a game we played this of an evening mostly on our main prop was the Sears Roebuck or McGovern award catalog. I don't remember the rules exactly but I do remember the wishing that went along as we went through the pages wanting I imagine almost everything in sight. And you know I still sometimes play that game even though I'm a grown up and have long since discovered that you don't get what you want just by wishing for it. But I do it anyway.
