"Personally, as a kid, I preferred The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which I absorbed with fascination. If you were a girl with a brain and a dawning sense that you wanted to grow into something more than a wife, Mary Tyler Moore was your goddess." That's Michelle Obama talking. I want to thank the former First Lady again for the title of this blog, Swerve, and now add that her description of The Mary Tyler Moore Show is perfect. It's almost unbelievable to me that I was given the chance to write for that wonderful show when I was so young and believed, along with Michelle Obama, that Mary Tyler Moore was a goddess to girls with brains.
