He meant to say, "And my sister was born one year to the day after he died."

I share my bday with Golda Meir and James Brown. And as I just learned, Levi Johnston, of Bristol Palin fame.

Pretty much all the rest on my list are people I haven't heard of.

Yup. Challenger being at the top of my list. There was the space program before, and the space program the day after. The fall of the wall was huge but I can't say I understood it at the time as well as I should have.



Imagine explaining to Theo about a pre-9/11 world. He was born 8.5 years after it happened. I can't believe it's as far removed from him as the moon landing is from me.
