Great job by Melber for keeping it (mostly) on the tracks-

I signed a lease yesterday to operate a cafe/beer&wine retail business. When I'm up and running in 2 months, I'll post pics. We'll see if I can sneak my Villa scarf in there.
My Junior High School was a Brutalist building. Lit by florescent lighting throughout with minimal natural light. It was also sinking into the surrounding swampland by 1/4 inch every year. The gym would regularly flood.
I was born in 1971 and grew up about 10 miles from Boston. A lower middle class neighborhood in an upper middle class town. Standard metro Boston life growing up. Boom Town 80's. But the 70's were different. We had a black and white Zenith TV with 5 channels. We walked to school. Our days were mostly spent outside, where the world was full of dangers. There were drug dealers in my local park. Tough kids who did bad things. At home we had the power shut off a few times and we wore hand-me-down clothes from older neighborhood kids. The 70's were pretty volatile financially, and things were generally pretty threadbare back then compared to today's kids who live in that area. But we managed to keep it together. It was a very privileged childhood in the scheme of things. I still dream of it.
Interesting debate here. In all honesty, "Finding the strength to be happy" sounds a bit trite, even though I know that Dmitri didn't intend it to sound trite.
I think that's all Chindie was trying to express, that it sounded a bit slogan-y and thus open to ridicule.
We good here, right fam?
