Older men always hold an eternal fascination for me and I can just imagine how that man would have been. And Billy Joel, what can I say. I enjoy all his songs. Now this post for a perfect one in terms of romance, music, adventure and fond memories. <br />Tell us more stories dear Zuzana.

I was completely hooked from beginning to end! <br /><br />It sometimes feels strange looking back at one's experiences when young. Almost like it happened to someone else! But music has an uncanny way of bringing back memories. I too had holidays and travelled abroad with a best friend, and each one an adventure. Happily she still is my best friend and we have been through 'thick and thin' together. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your story, they are always a joy to read and as ever I love your musical choices:-))<br /><br />Jeanne<br />xReading Tea Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928999793157507134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-38274952380720120292011-01-04T08:19:43.873+01:002011-01-04T08:19:43.873+01:00Beuaiutfl story and post Zuzana .

You had me enthralled until the very end! :) Thank you for sharing a part of your past with us and how it shaped your life - as all experiences do...<br /><br />I've always loved Billy Joel - and especially "Just The Way You Are" - unfortunately that song brings me back to a place in time not as happy or wonderful as yours... but it still has deep meaning for me - <br /><br />And just as I've talked about before (and as you have too) music definitely has the amazing ability to bring you back to a place in time without having to leave the present...<br /><br />((Hugs))<br />ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-57355295213837641952011-01-04T05:32:11.348+01:002011-01-04T05:32:11.348+01:00What a great story, Zuzana.

Depending on the particular memory, it can be fun to look back on old times and wonder, "What if?" <br /><br />That's pretty cool your friend dated is a famous television commentator and a talk show host.
