Things we miss

Tough newspaper city columnists, like Breslin, Royko and Hamill

Newspapers

Sleeping through the night

A human being answering the phone

Snuggling up in the front seat

Feeling comfortable driving at night

Leafing through Life Magazine

The new Beatles album

And things we don’t miss

Instant coffee

Having to dial rotary phones

Not being able to contact someone because they weren’t home or at the office

Getting up to change the channel

Ashtrays

Richard Nixon

Waiting to have your pictures developed

Working
