Old enough to remember getting milk in bottles from the milk man, the doctor making house calls and sending a letter for $.04.

I'm old enough to know better but too young to behave myself.

I can remember when penny candy didn't require folding money.

I love the term folding money. In the United States, money that doesn't fold doesn't have much value either!

I'm rather young for the Henry demographic I suppose. 33 years old with my first child on the way in February. He will get a Henry very early on in life.

Old enough to remember when only one family on the block owned a TV and the kids would gather there at 5:00 PM to watch the Howdy Doody show. Our first TV a year or so later and how happy I was to watch The Lone Ranger, The Cisco Kid and Hopalong Cassidy. Covered Wagon Theater on Saturday mornings. Air raid drills in the elementary school, penny candy at the corner store, soda pop that was cooled at the store in a large bin filled with ice, and horse manure in the street from the horse that pulled the milk wagon. (71)

My wife had an old uncle who missed the July '69 moon landing because "I didn't buy a color TV to watch g** d*** black and white."
LOL.
