We always SWORE that we felt like we were being lifted...

Carrom was like a cheap knockoff of pool - a square wooden board with pockets in the corners, and you got red and green plastic rings to try and sink in the pockets. Then you could play checkers with the rings on the checkerboard in the center.

Anybody play spin the bottle kissing game. We did not have a ping pong table but I played it at other people's houses.

I loved those shows.

The house where they filmed Dark Shadows was in Newport - and my mother had gone to camp there. (Burnam by the sea). I always felt a sort of connection to that show because of it....

Does anyone remember the song "Life Is A Rock" by Reunion, where they listed a whole bunch of singers names, and he sang each verse faster and faster?

My brain has cracked in half - too many visuals flooding in at once - it's been fun to look back along the path - it was a pretty good one after all.

Undiscovered - he did look like Richard Simmons! Good call.

Toronto - I don't remember that at all...I guess my brain hit the end...

Ah - now THERE'S a memory!

The card catalogue - who the heck typed up all those thousands of index cards???

And how did they EVER keep track of their book inventory with those little pockets in the book and check-out cards with the return date rubber-stamped on it?...

Oh god, that actually made me cry - I can still smell those catalogues. Life was slower, simpler and easier. haven't we progressed?

And meeting friends at the library - and then flirting in the stacks...was a rite of passage.
