Things that I miss

• Pepsi in glass bottles. We always had it in the house when I was a kid. Thanks, Mom!
• Repeated showings of "Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas" on HBO.
• You Tube at work.
• My convertible.
• The Central time zone. It just works better...trust me.
• Animal crackers in those little boxes with the string...do they still make those?
• Being in shape.
• Playing poker on a semi-regular basis.
• Pork chops and corn on the cob from Iowa. Sure, they only do 2 things there, but they do them REALLY well.
• The black Michael Jackson.
• Knowing enough Russian to fake my way through a conversation. Now I can count to 10, and that's about it. I blame beer.
