We all grow older but far fewer of us actually grow up.
I thought of Cyndi Lauper merely as a girl wanting to have fun in the 1980's. I've recently changed my mind. I PVR'ed a concert off HDNet and have watched much of it. I have to give the lady a great deal of credit. She has quite a set of lungs and included an enormous variety of musical styles in an hour and a half. She is really an accomplished entertainer and still quirky enough to be endearing.
Now, she ranks right up there on a very small, personal list. It contains the names of people with whom I'd like to have a half hour conversation. Being on that list is saying a lot ... as I generally feel my own thoughts are tremendously more valuable than nearly everyone else's.
