Oh my goodness, what have I wrought??!!

What began as a hopefully uplifting, potentially inspiring literary journey into the heart of post-9/11 America has devolved (and don't get me wrong, I use "devolved" here in a good way... [Smile] )into a wild boomer ride of transcontinental proportions!

Dogs as hood ornaments, ladies sporting a full sartorial spectrum ranging from thongs to muu-muus, nude calendars, male strippers! When do we leave?

You realize, don't you, that your forum threads follow you around the Internet in perpetuity. When Oprah calls and books me, she may start by asking me "mother-child journey" questions, but before the first commercial break she'll be quizzing me about the boomer tour!
