Is this background to represent what it was like to be Martin Mull in the 70s?

Ah, heck. I missed the Kinks. Am immensely enjoying the snowy background on the comments board, though. For all who have to shovel, may this be all the snow we see. I love snow, but I be too old...

Nice to hear Foxx Bodies are supporting NAMI. A strong organization that made a huge difference for our family. Look them up in your area if you have family members suffering from mental illness.
