Things that make me feel old:

Toni Basil will turn 80 in September.

The Kinks released, "Come Dancing," in 1982. Ray Davies sang about memories of his sister when he was a young teen and I was 13 when the song came out. It made me wonder what kind of memories I would have of my teen years when I got old. I'm now almost two decades older than Davies was when he released the song.

When I was born, no man had ever set foot on the moon.

When my dad was born, the last Civil War general (Aldrich Ames) was still alive.

Aldrich should be Adelbert Ames. Early morning brainfart.

MLK and RFK were still alive when I was born, and the grotesque oaf LBJ was still president.

.

I was five.
My parents were watching it on TV - and trying to keep me awake.

But I was asleep on the couch when it happened at 10:56:20 p.m. eastern time.
