I can't handle the truth

Someone who shall remain nameless recently pointed out to me that 1982 was 25 years ago.

"You know what was 25 years before 1982?" he asked. "1957. That means that we are as far from 1982 as 1982 was from 1957."

Ack!

Hmmm, seems like the world changed a lot more between 1957 and 1982 than between 1982 and now. I guess we have the internet now, and our enemy has changed from Russia to Al Qu**a, but I still think there were more changes from 1957 to 1982. I think the innocent '50s really ended when Kennedy was shot. All the things that used to be kept in the dark started coming out. Not just his affairs.

And that's my rambling for this morning.

The Boy shared this Jay Leno witticism with me: "Jimmy Carter said that Bush was the worst president in history. Bush responded that that's not true. He was actually the worst in math and English."
