As a kid I did want to be an old-timer since they were the ones with the big stories and the cool clothes. I wanted to go there. Now I guess I want to bring that with me and go back in time.
I have the same pet peeve as Anderson Cooper which is bare feet in public. I hate it. It so grosses me out especially in New York. Oh my God New York in the summer with people and their feet in their sandals and their flip-flops like get it away!
