In 1985 I was two and three years old. I remember a flash of my preschool classroom. That's about it for identifiable 1985 memories.
(Oddly, I remember my second birthday but not my third. This may be because I got a shiny tricycle horn for my second birthday, and it made an impression on me.)
I do remember Ronald Reagan being president, but I'm pretty sure that was closer to the time when he wasn't anymore....
PDAs/e-books: I wonder how the iPhone is going to be for reading them. Seems like it'd be reasonable, with the fairly large screen. (My boyfriend will be in San Francisco on the day of the launch -- not specfically for the launch, but he'll be there anyway. We get too excited about gadgetry. I doubt I can afford one for quite some time, but....shiny....)
When I was of an age to attend YMCA day camp in the summers, our counselors were obsessed with that song, and it was played at morning and afternoon assemblies for weeks on end. I can not only sing the whole thing, but can also do the hand gestures. Being unable to change the laws of physics was represented by a gesture like playing with a Slinky. I suppose that's appropriate.
(YMCA summer day camp exhausted me because it was like living in a pep rally. You had to have SPIRIT! ALL! THE! TIME! Even though it was 95 degrees and so humid you couldn't breathe.)
Teresa, I hope you're right that war with Iran isn't going to happen. Now that the British sailor and marine situation has been resolved (apparently), I'm a lot less nervous.
However, I can't convince myself that our executive branch would think things through in a rational or logical fashion in deciding whether or not to go to war. I mean, yes, whenever the topic of war with Iran comes up, Keith and I turn to each other and say "Us and whose army?" -- but I'm not confident that the president wouldn't be that stupid.
(I'm unfamiliar with the Yorkshire Ranter, but they get points for the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band reference. Here comes the equestrian statue, prancing up and down the square...)
