A Girl Named Sue

I was riding along in a truck a few days back with the guys I have worked with for over a decade now. Traffic was horrible, and one of them blurted out, "If we go any slower, we'll go back in time!"
I immediately replied, "Well, if we are going back in time, can it be 1985?"
No "thought" went into this exclamation. It was just pure impulse.
I hashed it over in my mind for a minute about why this number had come out, and I realized that this was the year that had nearly NO pressure, I graduated high school, and had the summer of a lifetime. 1985 was full of friends, adventures, travel, falling in love (at least I thought I did many times), and just plain being happy. I could not wait for the next day, and plans for the upcoming weekend were always something to look forward too. I smile when I think about that summer.
I like my life now, but it is so structured. I work more and more to make due, and work most weekends as well. I worry about things. I get stressed out. Sometimes I am not quite myself. I would say DIFFERENT describes it best. Older and responsible? - a two sided coin.
When I said 1985 sounded good as a year to return, I was tired, and missing some of the things I used to do quite often ... so yes, it made sense.
If it really were possible to travel back in time, I would marry that girl named Sue. "Of course, she would have to notice me first ..."

Do you have one year that would be nice to re-visit? How long would you stay??
