There’s nothing quite like lying in the dark with your homework done and your clothes laid out for the next day, listening to a radio station playing “A Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “The Long and Winding Road,” or “Venus,”and then the voice of the DJ…

I had a red digital clock radio until I married!!! I should have kept it!! I thought it was so cool and took it to college with me.
