I could remember when television would go off. Man, you knew you were in trouble when you heard the Star Spangled Banner and you were not ready to go to sleep.

As for the telephone, I know what it is like to have to answer telephone and take your chances with whomever it was that was calling at the time. Let's just say that I only answered the phone one time saying "my mommy said that she is not here" and I never made that mistake again.

I thought having a pen pal was the greatest thing. I mean loved to meet people with the hopes of having someone to write. As a kid, I loved getting mail.

I remember when there was no cable, but my aunt had HBO and Prism. I remember sneaking and watching Eddie Murphy's Delirious and being scared out of my mind watching Tales from the Crypt.

I remember being told that I was running up the electric bill because I was looking in the refrigerator. I also remember recording music from the record player and the song would make those cracking sounds when you would play it back.

On Saturdays, after the cartoons went off, I loved watching roller derby. Heck, I wanted to being in the roller derby. Then soul train was my everything when I was in junior high and high school. Heck, I went to junior high, now there are only middle schools where I live.

Man, those were the days...
