That’s me in the local newspaper
*
Article about OC,SH & me, published online on my birthday, 09/19, & appeared in the 09/21/2014 print edition:
A heart-felt Facebook page | Elgin Courier-News
09/22/2014, watched “The Rockford Files”, then drove my 1989 Caprice Classic Brougham on the road for the 1st time in over a year … will make it more difficult to sell it & my 1979 Caprice Classic. Also drove the ‘81mc on the road for the 1st time in over 2 years. Odd therapy … mix of invigoration, sadness & memories. Ended the afternoon by watching “CHiPs”.
Always remember. Things CAN switch in a heartbeat.
Easy to support when things are well; challenging when not.
Easy to hope someone is OK; challenging to reach out to them.
Easy to claim to be a good friend; challenging to show it.
Easy to wish you could help; challenging to actually do so.

Nice write up about your FB page, I do wish you all the best on your search for a job.
On a positive note I do remember watching Rockford Files growing up and when I bought my first firebird I felt like a king. Again watching ChIPS while growing up was a weekly event for my brother and I, we wouldn't miss it from week to week, so watching those shows whenever I get the chance always bring back fond memories.
Every person finds a different "therapy" and honestly be thankful you can find that by watching tv and driving your cars, there are worse ways to find it and you have an amazing creative outlet to call upon with your creativity.

So glad I have my OLD CARS, STRONG HEARTS facebook page (& related ‘OC,SH express’ group) to keep me smiling & "talking old cars & sparking memories"!
Sunny, warm days (which seem to be disappearing now) make me want to just drive: sunny-day only car(s) or a road trip. Wish life was a bit slower paced & money wasn’t the basis for so much….
“Life throws you curves, but you learn to swerve; me I swung & I missed & the next thing ya know I'm reminiscin’”

Thank you! 
Awesome ... glad someone else feels the same about the classic TV shows! I've watched TRF continuously since they brought it back a few years ago. I probably have watched every episode, but I watch them anyway when I can. I tend to see "new" things in each episode that I don't remember seeing previously ... lol. As for CHiPs, watching these episodes "new" (was just put back on TV 09/01/2014), is ssssooo exciting!
Uh, the cars to drive will be gone soon. But, my "therapy" really is my facebook page ... so I appreciate your comments about it ... thank you!
