Seriously. Sometimes I think I was born 70 or 80 years too late.

Of course, if I was born back then, I’d never get a chance to play on the internet and meet all you nice people…
Those were the days, weren’t they? I mean, the clothes … the cars … the hair … the shoes … ah, me. It was better then, in a lot of ways. That whole depression thing aside, and lacking the medical technology it required to keep me alive, and the lack of air conditioning which I find a VITAL portion of lifestyle — it’s a pretty sweet time to dream about. 
The 40′s were cool – the 30′s had their moments too. And man, I love that swing dancing! That’s awesome that you and your sweetheart can do that!
Still, I’m glad to have the opportunity to know you. Even if it is in the “aughts”.
