\"Unknown<\/a>I am not ashamed, abashed or reluctant to state that I am 57 years old. \u00a0I like my age and the alleged wisdom and maturity that is supposed to come with age. \u00a0I can’t swear to this wisdom and maturity, but I do admit to being pleased with where I am with my life and loves.<\/p>\n

This is the very long intro to posting an unknown etch (that I have long owned) while watching All in the Family.<\/p>\n

For any youngsters who read this post, and have never seen nor heard of this show…you have missed something special.<\/p>\n

This show’s long run dealt with every issue of our times – racism, ageism, homophobia, divorce, rape, abortion, feminism, draft dodging, war, politics, infidelity, relationships, marriage – using humor, incredulity, fine acting, wonderful, rich characters and realism.<\/p>\n

I watch old tv. \u00a0Maybe it’s a sign of age, but I find modern tv so ridiculous for the most part. \u00a0I don’t get reality shows at all. \u00a0Where\u00a0is the ‘reality’?<\/p>\n

Anyway I digress. \u00a0I watched the show…Edith was fired for comforting a dying patient at the Sunshine Home….and I had tears in my eyes…while I was posting these photos.<\/p>\n

Not much to say about the glasses. \u00a0Unknown etch – I’ve had them for a long time. \u00a0 no idea of provenance. \u00a0Not the greatest quality of glass, but nice nonetheless.<\/p>\n

But check out All in the Family….<\/p>\n
