I remember the Challenger explosion
...When Dominoes used to guarantee that if it took more than 30 minutes to deliver your food, it was free
...black and white televisions
...when NBC, CBS, and ABC were the only networks
...That "Prevue" was the precursor to modern cable. It sucked, and we had it.
...when bacon and eggs was part of a healthy breakfast
...When remote controls used to have cords
..."Remote Control"
...when NO ONE owned a computer
...writing letters
...when the press was reporting the fact that their were people who could host AIDS but not actually ever get sick with the virus
...Thinking that Emelio Estevez was probably the coolest person ever
...when the phones in my house weren't touch-tone
...when having more than one phone was a big deal
...when I used to write creative stories in grade school about bringing in weapons and killing all my classmates and teachers and I was called into read the story to other classes because everyone thought it was so funny
...when being a "businessman" meant you wore a suit and tie to work.
...programming with "Logo"
...Datsun cars
...buying records not because it was hip, but beccause it was the only option
...getting our first microwave and VCR
...betamax and Laserdisks
...when everyone was afraid that the Killer Bees wre going to make their way through Texas and kill thousands of people in the country.
...The Atari 2600
...Watching the '86 series and hating Bob Stanley and Calvin Schiraldi exponentially more than Bill Buckner
...when you weren't cool unless your sunglasses were two-way mirrors
...when everyone I knew had two parents who lived with them.
what are some of the things that you look back on and realize just how long you've been on this planet
