We as a society seem to be losing our identification.This blog is not so much about change as it is looking at the past...not living in the past, just enjoying the pleasure of the early years. No generation is expected not to grow, expand and change for the good of the world, but some people are reminded of days gone by.Oh yeah, this is not an old timer's blog either, just some fun from the past...and sometimes even about today with these forwarded emails.

You thought Doogie Howser/Samantha Micelli was hot. 29. You remember Alf, the lil furry brown alien from Melmac. 30.
