It was to be just a week and I couldn't justify either the cash or jet lag to travel there. Once I'd be rid of the jet lag, I'd be time to go home and experience more jet lag. Amsterdam sounds like fun, though. Maybe If I were a few years younger. Plus, I already have the weed. ;>)Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-90873892489764406792017-07-24T11:19:24.146-04:002017-07-24T11:19:24.146-04:00(:V>(:V>Jeremy Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980177431018869829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-4232849359782280182017-07-24T11:15:33.969-04:002017-07-24T11:15:33.969-04:00Well, that would require actually finding my old y...Well, that would require actually finding my old yearbook, scanning the page, and posting it, which I don't have time to do right now. If I do happen across it I might arrange a private showing for you.

I love that both for its raunchy eroticism and its Seussian autonomous-pantsness.<br /><br /><i>In fact on our dorm’s page in the college yearbook that year we featured a photo of a row of our pale-garbed behinds as we posed leaning over as though looking out the wide front window.</i><br /><br />I'm sure you meant to include that photo in your post, but it doesn't seem to have loaded. I'll be waiting here while you fix that (because, um, I'm interested in 1960s fashions).Jeremy Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980177431018869829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-30477033220121636632017-07-24T08:57:11.024-04:002017-07-24T08:57:11.024-04:00Remember mini-skirts?

How I pestered my mother (who very rationally resisted most of my pleas). <br /><br />Now my favorite clothes are in some cases 25 or 30 years old -- comfortable pieces that have stood the test of time.<br /><br />When my jeans get ripped, I toss them out! (Though living in the steamy tropics, I hardly ever wear jeans.)<br /><br />Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.com
