We were discusing history tonight, and I was thinking about it. I was born in 1979.

I was born 10 years after the moon landing.

I was born a year before the first women graduated from the service academies.

Also I’m old enough to remember when we bought our first VCR, the Challenger disaster, the fall of the Berlin wall and I didn’t get my first CD player or the Internet until my senior year of high school.

And I remember being floored the first time I saw the Internet with pictures.

I also remember the transition to debit cards.

History is weird.
