I am a here and now kind of person. I don't look back. Even though I think times are very scary right now, I like to live in the present.

I have had mostly happy years in most of the decades of my life and I am very thankful for that! But if I had a chance to go back to one for a while I would choose the 60's! I got married, I had young children and life just seemed simpler! Summers, Christmas and so many other things were fun!! Of course I was very young and energetic then also!!

Gosh, several eras appeal to me. From the time I was a teenager, I've loved the 30's and 40's, possibly because I associate that era with my parents, and of course love the movies of that period... Have "42nd Street" on in the background now, with Ruby Keeler and adorable Richard Powell (avoiding his nickname so absurd censorship of that man's name doesn't kick in.)

Busby Berkeley, art moderne and art deco, up through midcentury modern--- love!

Astaire, Rogers, Cagney, John Wayne, Stanwyck, Cary Grant, Bette Davis--- enduring, one of a kind stars...

Jazz, Tin Pan Alley, Broadway show tunes...

The tailoring of men's and women's suits, men in fedoras, women in hats, the attention to appropriate dress for all occasions-- all those things make the period compatible with my throwback sensibilities...

Sometimes I read your posts and think: Separated at birth?

Sawyer, you listen to me, and you listen hard. Two hundred people, two hundred jobs, two hundred thousand dollars, five weeks of grind and blood and sweat depend upon you. It's the lives of all these people who've worked with you. You've got to go on, and you've got to give and give and give. They've got to like you. Got to. Do you understand? You can't fall down. You can't because your future's in it, my future and everything all of us have is staked on you. All right, now I'm through, but you keep your feet on the ground and your head on those shoulders of yours and go out, and Sawyer, you're going out a youngster but you've got to come back a star!

Oznell, you make me want to shuffle off to Buffalo.
