Friday, 21 December, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Friday, 21 December, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Cloudy and east wind, minus 3 to 18 above.  I washed and hung pulley line full, they dried.  Cleaned up house, worked on girls skirts in pm.  Kids home at noon, girls practiced at church in afternoon.  Doug went with Roberta with mail.  Gerald went to Gloversville from school and his car broke in Schoharie.  Roberta picked him up about midnight.  David and Sandy came in evening.  Kids went caroling.  Clifton and I went to Pa's and Louise's at night but no one at home.
Comment:  Wow, have no recollection of my car breaking down.  It must have been on the way home from Gloversville...drunk again??..and on the cover of Time that day, Vince Lombardi, who conceived of "Lombardi Time"...on time means fifteen minutes early..and I still drive my family nuts adhering to this concept....and from Forbes:  “5 minutes early is on time. On time is late. Late is unacceptable.” ...http://www.forbes.com/sites/brentbeshore/2015/08/02/5-minutes-early-is-on-time-on-time-is-late-late-is-unacceptable/

2020: Should have adopted that philosophy years ago! Would have been better off for it.

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
