I think of it as a luxury today that I have the free time to take a nap.

I'm so old I remember square dancing on saw dust floors.

When I was in high school, the chaperons for our dances would shake something onto the floor from a shaker can that resembled saw dust and it made the floor a little slicker so our shoes wouldn't drag and we could glide on the floor. (That was in the day when we danced face to face with the opposing hands clasped, the guy's right arm around the girl's waist and the girl's left arm around his shoulder.)

Reminds me of a story friend of mine told me about her first rock concert, which she attended at Music Hall in Cincinnati, home of the symphony, the ballet, opera, etc.

She showed up at the concert in a skirt and nylons and heels, because that's how she was taught to dress when she went to Music Hall. She sees everyone in jeans and sandals, and wonders ... what the ... ?

I'd love to have a nap scheduled into my day, just like we did in kindergarten. I'd bring in my own nap rug and everything.

Sinclair Gas (hasn't been in my neck of the woods in decades)

when a whole family had just one car

before people spayed/neutered/took their pets to the vet for routine health care

black & white television, as the rule

a word for a telephone exchange; MOhawk 4-4100 (okay, that one is a Chicagoism)

when McDonald's was "new" in my area, not when we got a new one

drive-in movie theaters with big, metal speakers that hung in your car window

when Woodstock happened

the Jim Nabors Hour

the Chicago Seven
