One of my recollections... flying across country to an office in Massachusetts to bring a network of microcomputers up to date with the latest computers and inventory/accounting programs while the staff was gone for the weekend. Worked through the weekend and the local radio station had on a song challenge. That's the first time I heard (and for hundreds of times) the lyrics- 'Cry, cry if it makes you feel better... Set it all down in a tear-stained letter.' Then, I drove a rental Pontiac Bonneville to the hotel. Front wheel drive? Good thing tho because it'd snowed overnight. First time I ever drove in the snow!
