It’s Christmas Eve and I’ve been wide awake since early this a.m. No, it’s not due to excitement but rather anxiety about the day, visitors coming, etc. Plus I get a rare opportunity to just sit down in complete quiet without interruption and sip my coffee without any little ones crowding my lap 
During the night I had an idea. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about my childhood in the 70s and 80s and the fact that so many of the things I experienced, my children probably won’t have a clue about. Maybe all they will know of some of these things is what they might one day see in a museum somewhere. My idea was that I should try to come up with a list of 10 examples of this. Here goes:
1. 8-track tapes
2. LPs
3. CB radio
4. Polyester leisure suits
5. Super 8 mm. movies
6. Carbon copies
7. Typewriters
8. Clip on ties
9. Pet rocks
10. Mood rings
