I have absolutely no recollection of 1978.

Oh, jeez, Jny: you went to a Led Zep backstage party, didn't you

Quite possibly ....

Possibly that is what caused me to forget everything that went before and came after.

1978 was a great year for me, my Junior year in highschool. I had my first job, working at the cinima (where I first saw SW in bits and pieces). I took Driver's Ed a year later than most of the rest of the school, and there was only one other person in the class, which meant a LOT of driving time...

...it was also the year I started band (yes, I was 4 years behind everyone else, but I was good. In my Senior year, I was 1st clarinet, 2nd chair

).

And to keep with the thread:

Prim, that was the most artocious video I have ever seen!

I don't think I've ever seen anything worse...

I missed this, solicitr. How I disliked that film! The central tragedy results from selfish people acting stupidly and dishonorably. And I am supposed to cry? I suppose human suffering should always evoke compassion, but when the suffering stems straight from idiocy? Bleh. There is nothing inherently noble about overwhelming sexual compulsion. I mean, it has its place, but . . . proportion in everything.

1978 . . . nothing happened to me in 1978. I was in college. Oh, I got an A in physical chemistry. And broke up with Mr. Prim for two excruciating weeks before we decided it just wasn't working out (what with living on the same dorm floor and all) and got back together. The next twenty-nine years have gone much more smoothly.

Doesn't bear thinking about, Mahima.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

It was a peculiar kind of absence, given that we were living fifty feet apart, ate all our meals at the same table, attended the same parties, and had the same group of close friends. Who were lovely and patient and put up with us staring at each other aghast from opposite ends of the dinner table, or dancing at each other at parties. But when we stopped the experiment I think they were almost more relieved than we were.

So, Prim, did you have one of those bumper stickers that says "Honk if you passed p-chem?"

The professor had one on his office door. How I wanted one!

Of course, I had no car to put it on.
