Oh Troy Lynn, I couldn't have said it better.  I too take the oldies.  I
just love them.  They still have so much to offer and get passed up time
and time again.  What can be sweeter then my little bald, blind girls
crawling up my chest and snuggling in, only to stop and kiss my chin
until its soaked.
