the good news about the 80's.........

ok, so my spouse picked me up from work.....as our middle child had the only automatic shift vehicle.....and we shopped briefly for a directed gift for our eldest's 20th birthday.....which is the day after our 23rd wedding anniversary sunday...........we will enjoy chinese after the band festival is over........anyway.....in the truck we discussed the hooplah over reagan's death and funeral......and we touched base on our take.....gentle readers.....it is encouraging to note that i was suffering through the 80's with a person who suffered along side.......we both recall the reagan years as bleak for free-thinkers.....for environmentalists, for planned parenthood advocates......for those who believe in the separation of church and state.....and those who believe in social programs and not in trickle down tricksterism........nice to know that i was not ill-advised 23 years ago................
