I watched Happy Days as a kid. Likely both when it was one weekly and after in syndication. I vaguely remember anticipating what this Joanie Loves Chachi thing might be. Did they own a restaurant, or a bar? I was young, but was struck that the show didn't seem grounded in the late 50s as Happy Days was, and that "Joanie" looked older and cuter to my young mind. Don't remember following the show at all, though.

I turn 47 tomorrow. One day removed from Eric A's b-day. I'm struck by my reaction to pop culture figures, even minor ones, who age sometimes beyond recognition, and/or who die. Life is very, very short. I do my absolute best to live in the now as much as possible.

That resonates with me...especially when the people have struggled with some demons.
