“Missing the 80s (temperature and decade)” – sister quoted from a 2015 blog post.

I like her clever word play reference. Mid-summer in Los Angeles is brutal so temperatures in the 80s would indeed be in the rear view mirror of daily temperatures. The 1980’s were very fun for those of us who lived our best lives in that decade. In her twenties, she graduated with her Master’s degree, started a career, moved, had many boyfriends, partied, and had a very fun time. Having money, youth, agency and autonomy, the world was her oyster with her whole life opening with possibility before her.
