I started reading this thread, without noting the date. Composed in my head what I was going to post. Imagine my surprise when I got to page 2 and saw pretty much word for word what I was thinking. I must be in a rut. . . ---

> [@Colibri](#): > > First for 1951, I think. Born during the great pennant race between the NY Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers, capped by the ā€œshot heard round the world.ā€ Count me in as number two. One of the worst vintages everywhere in the world, so I havenā€™t been able to celebrate any anniversaries with a good bottle of wine. ā˜¹ But, coming from so long long ago, I still, deep down, harbour a sense of wonder about the internet, mobile phones and all the other technological doo-dads we have now.

Well since weā€™re gonna ressurect this old thing, put me down for 1959. I may have responded the first time but when you get this old, you can chalk it up to old age. ---

1943 That was in the dark days of WWIIā€¦still a year to go to D Dayā€¦no nuclear weaponsā€¦no computersā€¦no birth control pillsā€¦no fast food. Big Band music was considered modern and ā€œhipā€. Jim Crow in the South, minorities generally considered second class citizens, women were entering the work force for the first time as something other than nurses and teachers. At least in 44/45 gas and other things were rationed; I still remember this and still have my ration book. Folks were lucky to live to retirement at age 65, and were ā€œoldā€; in fact most didnā€™t live to enjoy many years of life after retirement. Iā€™ll spare you all of my old codger memories of what the world has done since 1943ā€¦ Fortunately the world has changed. Pretty neat shiny world I live in now! ---

Born on the tail end of 1968ā€¦sadly, not to hippie parents. Right before the moon launch, and I slept through hurricane Camille. ---

I share the exact date of birth as Russell Crowe, but I donā€™t throw phones (and Iā€™ve never ever kissed Meg Ryan). PS- The world is a happier place for both of those facts. ---
