DRYDEN DAILY KAZ: Another Birthday Over

Thursday, February 18, 2010

Although it's hard to admit how old I am, the scariest part is the sudden realization that 1990 was 20 years ago. How'd THAT happen?

Anonymous said...: Ha ha. How about 1970 being 40 years ago?

Or, the Summer of Love is to O what the late flapper years were to you at that age.

Happy Birthday!; February 18, 2010 at 9:47 AM
KAZ said...: Interestingly, O and her cousins listen to and enjoy the Beatles. I did not listen to and enjoy Al Jolson or Eubie Blake at that age.

Of course, when The (decrepit) Who played at halftime of the Super Bowl, all I could think was "Who today even knows what pinball is?"; February 18, 2010 at 9:53 AM

I was chatting about Tiananmen square with a bunch of 8th graders before I realized they weren't around to witness it. I sat teary eyed through a short film about the 1980 Olympics and then thought, shit! they (the students) are seeing this as history - I am OLD.

I kinda like it.

Happy Birthday!!!!; February 18, 2010 at 2:56 PM
