That 70’s show

I was watching “That 70’s Show” the other night. (OK, I watch it most nights) Since I grew up in the 70’s I thought about my friends growing up. We had our “Hyde” his name is Mark. You could say Steve was “Kelso.” I mean he did jump out his bedroom (second story) window into the pool. It was awesome cause his mom came home right before he jumped and asked where he was and I said, “He’s up in his room.” She goes upstairs just as Steve jumps into the pool. As soon as he pops his head out of the water his mom appears in his window. She looks right at me and says, “I think you need to go home now.” I laughed like crazy. Kelso was always falling off the water tower, so Steve was Kelso. Ed would be “Fez.” Just like Fez, Ed wore black “Angel’s Flight” polyester pants with black boots. (Sorry Ed.) I would be “Eric.” I did have the good-looking girlfriend and she does have red hair, well she does now.
So as I watch the show I like to think back on those days, but the reality is; Steve, Ed and I were all a little bit Eric, Kelso and Fez. We all were a little goofy, nerdy and interested in girls just like the guys on “That 70’s Show.” By the way there is no doubt Mark was Hyde. Ask Ed and Steve and they will tell you the same, I’m sure. So, as I look back, that is how I like to see us. I miss those days. I miss hanging out with Steve, Ed and Mark.
The scary thing is I look at that show and realize that now I’m really “Red Foreman.”
I mean I have kids now and I really do want to nail their windows shut.
I really do miss those days.
