Leisure suit. Now let’s never mention those words again. All the best, Joe

A mic in the bathroom! I have one about a cat’s hairball on a skirt–we’ll save it for another day when we need a laugh. Shoulder pads were good for some things. The ones with velcro were good for gentle cleaning jobs. Or you could cut them in half and put them in shoes for blisters.

Your son is nine? I haven’t known you for that long, but that doesn’t seem quite possible.
I have in my head that he is six. Six.

I know from experience that you don’t need to have ink on your hands to get it on your face. Or clothes. I’m gifted that way.

You may not have had to wear shoulder pads, Joe, but it was an era of highly flammable clothing. And disco. I think we all suffered in our own ways.

My son read the two books in the Magnificent 12 series and he was very disappointed when we found out he wasn’t writing any more of that series. He loved it (ie: laughed out loud repeatedly). He’ll want to read Gone so I’ll actually have to hide it from him because I need to read it first and check on its content. I have to keep reminding him he’s only 9 almost 10. God how did that happen so fast?

As for the shoulder pads… these are the kinds of things its always good to laugh at later, when they become stories and legends that work their way into the lives of our characters. I’ve had so many things like that happen to me over the years as a public speaker (from my fly being open – always difficult to put behind you – to bringing a lavlier microphone into the bathroom – don’t get me started) that both my wife and I are used to them by now. Mostly. These days its pen marks and stains on my shirt. Yes, it could be much worse. And yes, I do remember the eighties, very well. And I’m glad I didn’t have to wear shoulder pads.
