Anyway, you might have noticed it's been a little quiet on the blog this past week. No I didn't take a trip to Fantasia on my birthday (although a ride on a luck dragon is on my bucket list.) My wife just had a baby girl! She'll have two older brothers to protect her and teach her all about He-Man and talking Trans Ams. But what they don't realize is my wife's battle plan to resurrect She-Ra, Jem, Care Bears, and My Little Pony in this house of testosterone. It may sound crazy but I actually looking forward to it. I remember watching some She-Ra episodes but I of course never really got into the stereotypical "girl cartoons" in the '80s. I'm hoping it will be something we can discover together!
So as I adjust to having five people in our house, you might see some cobwebs on the RD80s home page through the end of the year. Don't forget though that I'm still sharing rad links everyday on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus so meet me there if you need some new '80s content. Now, on with the links!
