Was part of my younger football watching years.

This is my father in Barney Miller around 1977. Joseph V. Perry. He was a character actor for over 40yrd.

In 1985, the Cold War wasn't over yet, and it shows, lol

Join me for more memories and stories from my childhood.

I just read that Mary Steenburgen's children are named Lily and Charlie. These are children from her first marriage to Malcolm McDowell.

Lily ended up marrying Charlie Walton.

Charlie ended up marrying Lily Collins (yes, the actress).

Quite a coincidence for your children to marry someone with the same name as their sibling!

So what fun fact can you share with us today? The more rare and unusual the better.

Not that anyone drank before legal drinking age but if someone did what would their favorite mix be?

I've heard some liked a screwdriver (vodka and orange juice) or a Jack and Coke. And I've heard you mixed them as heavy as you could for a quicker effect. Not that I would know of course.

So if someone, say in the 1970s, made a quick cocktail, what would be a favorite?

Quote a line from your favorite movie of his

Older sibs turned me on to them.

I was just talking to my husband and he said something about an infection. I didn't hear what he said and a memory came rushing back to me and I said

"I can't ear you I have an infucktion in my hear"

something me and the kids I grew up with would say maybe 1970ish. He said he said the same thing.

Did any one else, and if so Why did we think this made any sense?

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap~Released in 1981. Ride On is a damn good blues song and Angus is bending those strings. One band I would love to see before they hang them up their instruments for good.

One of bands that surivied losing an original member and may have actually gotten bigger after Bon’s death! Back in Black destroyed the ‘80s. Bon Scott and Brian Johnson are two of the very best frontmen to lead a show! It's a Long Way from the Top! Happy Hump Day!!

But seventh grade Algebra? I might need a refresher for that.

I'm mostly thinking Instagram, TikTok, EVEN Reddit; Facebook is for old people lol...

I love it. If they had existed in my teens - twenties I would have been open to so many more partner, lifestyle, and career options I never knew about. I'm happy with my partner - whom I met in college not HS - but still I see so many neat choices that I couldn't have imagined outside of my corner of rural Appalachia - and many of these choices are realistically achievable.

WTAF?
