   I’d say Family Circus based on the round frame.

   Thank you. I remember it very well. It’s hard to believe that much time has passed.

   I recently heard that they’ve discovered high levels of lead in many brands of dark chocolate. So I guess I’m reversing my previous stance on lead consumption….

   We are behind on snow here in Southeastern WI. We had the cold snap but almost all the white stuff missed us for a change. I’m hoping February and March don’t feel they need to make up for it.

   My Mom taught me a slightly different version of the prayer to St Anthony: “Tony, Tony, look around. Something’s lost that must be found.”

   Let’s not forget the 250" of snow every year if you head up to the Keweenaw Peninsula. THAT’s a character-builder I assure you.

   My job requires that I carry a cell phone but I went back to wearing a watch many years ago: Somewhere around my 15th work anniversary they offered several “gifts” – one of which was a Citizen Eco Drive watch. Being in a technical field, I love the old-school “manual-ness” of it. The fact that I never have to wind it is the perfect touch of “modern.” That watch has lasted over a decade now. It’s a little worse for wear (I need to replace the crystal after an unfortunate drop) but it’s still doing the job.

   The most expensive watch I ever owned before this one was $15. Now, on the rare occasion I find myself in a jewelry store I find myself lingering over the Citizen watch display. I got spoiled quick. :) (Yeah, I know they aren’t THAT expensive, but they are by MY standards.)

   Fourth one… You let the first one raise that kid. :D

    This was always a favorite of mine.

    Something dawns on me though: Today, here are many who consider “80’s Rock” to be some of the best – true classic stuff. (You yourself may or may not be among them.) Thinking back to when I was growing up during the 80’s (a memory triggered by this strip), a lot of folks (like Binkley) used to lament the fact that Rock was dying. It was even baked in to some of the music of the time.

    Interesting to see how perspectives change over time and with generations.
