I remember:
Being bummed out about the Kennedy assasination because it interfered with the afternoon cartoons
Being bummed out about Woodstock because I had to go to 6th grade
Being elated that I always had high draft numbers, and even happier that the draft ended 2 yearsbefore I was 18
being in band practice the night Kurt Cobain died
sleeping through the Challenger disaster (3rd shift..)
watching campus marches over the Iran Hostage crisis
having my teenage years wasted because everyone else was listening to disco
voting for Ford
being afraid to turn off the IBM XT because the power loss might erase the 5 1/4th floppy in the full-height drive (my first session with a PC..1/85..;)
converting a 'punctuation' graphic into actual dots in IBM Draw, in EGA
but I'm not old..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
