Kelly, that's what people mean when they long for the "good old days". They 
want the cheap prices with today's income, their young body when they could 
go up hills without getting out of breath or eat half a pizza without 
gaining weight, to be a freshman in college but already know what a college 
grad + 15/20 years of experience knows. They want the good parts of the old 
days with none of the sucky stuff we'd all rather forget.
