The Museum of Curiosities shared this photo of soda cans produced from the 1930s to 1970s, which I would love to frame and hang next to my vintage cereal poster in the kitchen. Must try the Shurfine diet cherry cola, the Sunday Funnies Blondie cola and the Pearl Harbor!

Try to guess if I'm tickled pink that Tracy Austin enjoyed my post about her appearance on "Mork & Mindy" -- and that Steve Weissman and Andy Roddick discussed it with her on "Tennis Channel Live"?!! 

This was a blast! Robin Williams was brilliant and hilarious. Thx for sharing-fun reminder. https://t.co/uU158O9Aqh
