I couldnt read it all...yup its depressing to me right about now. Ill try again later and hope itll be a nice stroll down memory lane. Right now it reminds me that Im bringing my children up in a world void of the innocence I enjoyed and took for granted like kids should. "innocence" means "naive" and "vulnurable" nowadays. I mean, its a TOTALLY different reality than I grew up in and its kinda sad tonight.

Btw, some of those things made me question your age.
I mean...I remember but Im 31 and I had you pegged as much younger than your memories imply.

But beta and 8 track are not on your list
( or smurfs, Captain Kangaroo , flinstones, shazaam, etc etc etc...)
