I love so many things it is hard to nail down favorites, but I'll try a few...I love old musicals like the Sound of Music and Marry Poppins. I always loved The Partridge Family, Bugs Bunny, the Little Rascals,and Johnny Carson. My favorite game shows were The Dating Game and The Newlywed game. I miss yodels and ring dings individually wrapped in aluminum foil. My husband loves Elvis and Speed Racer…That always makes me laugh.

A sugar rush and caffiene high. When I taught traffic school I found that Sinatra and big band CDs played at the beginning of class had a wonderful calming effect on even the younger teenage students. Some of them even knew who Billie Holiday was! By the way, if you want a tearful moment, read the Wikipedia bio of Billie Holiday.
