Decade Quote by Paula Marinaro
““The 1950’s. Now that was a decade he could wrap his head around, Hal thought to himself more than a couple of times in the past few days. A woman working her ass off happily in the kitchen, while the man of the house sipped his morning joe with his feet up enjoying the news of the day.””
