Way back in April I riffed on The Media, the whipping boy/girl of the current regime: https://www.pjcolando.com/the-media/
Thanks to television, it was easy to pick up what was new and cool when we were tweens/teens/twenty-somethings. Remember?
Kick back and getcha groove on, baby. Reminisce about when when we were all out of sight.
From A to Z, we were spectacular – and still are!
If we could only recall where we left our cheater-readers, the glasses we buy by the pack. This morning I put both contact lenses in the same eye – that old age attention deficit thingie interplayed while my mind was wondering onto another song. Yeah, the mind minder – the DJ spinning the sound track of my life, didn’t stay tuned to the task.
