Me too! Born in...um...earlier. But, again, a product of the 60s, tho I
was lucky and missed some of the "higher" elevations. I still like to
look back at myself and others and say...please forgive me!..."Did I do
THAT???" It's fun to look back at my time and further back. There's a
thing on PBS hosted by the late Ralph Story (sp.?) called "Things That
Aren't Here Anymore" and "More Things...". They're both sort of a fun
trip back. Not that today is garbage. There are good things here today
as well...just not as much fun, I guess. We are living in an age that
will be nostalgic to our grandchildren! And WE made it happen. Not sure
if that is good, though...
Boy! Do I get windy!!
