The Wonder Years is one of my favorite TV shows. It is about reminiscences of life back around 1970 when a boy was in junior high and high school.
The fictional character, Kevin Arnold, would have been two years older than me. He had my math book and experienced many of the things I did at the time.
In one of the episodes, Frank and Denise, Kevin finds himself caught between a couple having relationship troubles, and both of them use him to eventually get back together again. At one point, Kevin experiences "the most voluptuous girl at McKinley High" apparently falling for him...
She kisses him in her car...
And transfers her chewing gum into his mouth...
Thrown out the window on September 8, 2024 ...
... and it's still there. I see it almost every day.
The Frank and Denise episode first aired on October 23, 1991.
That was exactly 33 years before my mom died.
Exactly.
My dad passed away almost twenty five (25) years ago, and Mom remarried a couple of years later. Her new husband took her to the Carolinas, a place she had always wanted to live. They enjoyed each other for eleven (11) years, and then he died. We brought her back to Midland to live, and after a couple of years she was baptized in the ocean and received the Holy Spirit.
Her wishes were to involve both of her husbands in her funeral arrangements. I had been thinking about going down to Matthews to make sure things are done right.
