OK, it’s no secret. I’ve always really been more of a lover than a fighter. That’s always been the case. And, that’s probably why I was a sucker for the slow ballads while growing up in the 80s. Additionally, my mullet was never long enough to truly enjoy the hard rock hair bands. I should try to find a picture of my bad hair from the 80s, shouldn’t I?

I thought I’d celebrate "Fun Friday" today with a journey back in time. We’re going back to "The Commons" at Piqua High School. That was the scene of many school dances. I’d invite my high school sweetheart (and future wife), Emily out to the center of the floor for a romantic moment as we listened and danced to the great ballads of the day. Here were the favorites:

  • You’re the Inspiration - Chicago
  • I Want to Know What Love Is - Foreigner
  • Lady in Red - Chris de Burgh
  • Crazy for You - Madonna
  • Can’t Fight This Feeling - REO Speedwagon
  • Search is Over - Survivor
  • Groovy Kind of Love - Phil Collins
  • Heaven - Bryan Adams
  • Faithfully - Journey

Feel free to add to the list. Through the miracle of iTunes, we can even relive the memories. I need to finish my downloads so I can invite Emily back out to the dance floor.

(Yes, Jami, I guess Emily and I are one of those "cute couples.")
