Someone left the cake out in the rain, indeed.
Jimmy Webb wrote this song. I love it.

Yes but it was called The Stroke. Billy Squier had some big hits back in the day. Wonder where he is now?

I don't recall them climbing the charts, but Julie Brown's songs were a bit weird & sure got played a lot on the radio.

It's on two boxed sets, isn't it? I'm still waiting for the Wonder Years to come out on DVD.

I believe so. I still don't have them yet but I want them. The other morning I woke up and put TBS on -- they were showing the Hawaiian vacation episode.

Oh wow -- I loved The Wonder Years. It was such a well-written and well-acted show.

True enough. That is one of the more memorable episodes of The Brady Bunch. Some of the cast did interviews not that long ago about filming there.
