OMG! I went to a book signing tonight for Maureen McCormick. As I waited in line, I relayed to my friend how The Brady Bunch helped me flunk out of college. Way back in the 70's I was enrolled in a little community college. I started every day by going to the student center for tater tots and a coke. As I waited in line, I could see reruns of The Brady Bunch. After completing my purchase I settled into a comfy chair to finish watching the episode. Unfortunately the show didn't end until 15 minutes after my class started. I couldn't seem to tear myself away to go to class. After a couple of weeks, I didn't even pretend that I was going to class. I just drove to campus, ordered my unhealthy breakfast and plopped down in front of the television. While I watched the Brady kids making all the right decisions a dutiful child would make, I made the decision to go against everything my parent wanted for me. Soon the school invited me not to return for another semester. Who would have guessed that Marcia/Maureen would soon be starting her days with "coke" too.
The good news is both Maureen and I got it together eventually and are both happy with our lives. So, thanks Brady Bunch where would I be without you.
