Watching Saturday morning cartoons was a treasured time for me as a kid. In addition to all of the colorful characters I saw, it was also a rare moment of solitude for me during the week. I was the second youngest of seven children, so I was always in the midst of a crowd at home. On some Saturdays, I would be able to get up before everyone else and have an hour or two just to myself. Alone time was a precious commodity to me in those days!
