La-la, How the Life Goes On. . .

OK, there seems to be some kind of movement sweeping through the corners of blog-space that I habituate, in which several of my blog-friends (Buck, Suldog, Uncle Skip and Michelle Hickman, for starters) have chosen a theme-song for their lives, then give a brief synopsis of their life, organized by decades.  I don't know if I'm really all that ambitious, but I'm at least willing to half-ass it, out of stuff I've posted before. . .

-------------------------

I suppose I'm more-or-less honor-bound to choose as my theme song, 'Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da', since, you know, that's where I got the name of my blog in the first place, with the whole 'Desmond and Molly' thing, and 'Home Sweet Home', and 'a couple of kids running in the yard', and all that.  (I don't know how to embed the video right here on my blog page, but I can at least give you the link. . .)

Over at Suldog's, I posted a comment, in which I said, (quoting myself verbatim):

"I have some vague memories of Elvis that must have been from the 50s, but that's about it. For me, the 60s were the Tigers, the Beatles, and the space program (also my parents' divorce, and variations on my family configuration). In the 70s, I expanded my mind, too, but mostly along the educational track. I got married in '80, and since then, we've been raising kids. Right now, I'm just trying to stay focused long enough to get 'em all launched and on their way. . ."


So, you know, there's that.  I have posted a few items, both here and on my old blog, over the years, which might serve to elaborate a bit on the above (very extremely ridiculously) brief synopsis.  If you're interested:

Where Were You. . . ?

March of the Gadgets (which isn't really a  true 'retrospective of my life', but it's fun)
