Note to Self

If you could write your childhood self a letter from your adult self now, what would you say? Would you offer advice, wisdom, or lottery numbers? Or would you let yourself just figure it out all over again?

Here's a make your own version of a music video from Arcade Fire's We Used to Wait for a customized Music Monday. It suggests using Google Chrome for optimal results, though my Firefox browser did do the job. Type in the address of the house you grew up in and create your own video. Write your child-self a letter if you choose. Part of the video requires pop-up screens (not ads, they are safe but required to make the video work, so don't close them). Oddly enough, the camera angle that Google Maps chose conceals my entire childhood home behind a large maple tree.
