All in the Family is certainly one of the greatest television sit-coms of all time. It definitely ranks in my top ten favorite shows. It has special meaning to me in a way too -because it was this show that was being broadcast at the time that I was born. My Dad still remembers watching the episode Archie in the Lock-Up in the hospital waiting room on that fateful evening of October 2, 1971.

I don’t usually like to write about the website on the website, but no real in-depth glance of my life would be complete without mentioning the time spent on putting this together – especially considering I would like to be able to look back on the website to capture the flavor of any given era. Whereas when I reflect on events or time periods of the past and I can usually summarize a broad overview of not only what was going on eventwise, but what was going on in my head, when I write about current events, I miss the brushstroke that paints the atmosphere of this time period. And certainly a key element to the year 2007 would be the work I have done on this site.
