Oh, and owning one of these ties.... when it was cool. I used to pretend to play it while dancing at the school dances, to the latest stylings of Duran Duran, or Bananarama.

Thinking back to things that were promised when I was a kid

Hover Cars
Colony on the moon.
Well on the way to Mars
Completely clean nuclear energy no coal fired generators.

No fat chicks.

When I hear a song I remember from my teenage years being played on a classic rock station -- that makes me feel old.

I don't know what caused me to do this, but the other day I looked it up and realized I've now been alive longer than John Lennon was.

The 10-year reunion wasn't so bad. All the chicks looked pretty hot still. The 15-year reunion was depressing - everybody looked like life had beaten them down.

England has won the World Cup only once a long long LONG time ago. Decades actually. Incidentally that was around the time that I was born....

I bought my wife a new digital watch the other day. They were the most amazing gadget when I was young, something to really brag about.

I imagine that I'll feel really old this afternoon when I am at Mount Royal after about five minutes of checking out young tail.
