Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I was one.

Probably already disappointing my mother...

Great. If the first two responses are any measure, this could be a short thread. Get off my lawn!

Yeah, I was not yet produced. But things I do remember everything about learning of:

9/11 - 7th grade reading class

Umm... When I wrote that first sentence I thought there'd be more. There *are* many many more, but they're all sporting events. Like, I remember where I was and what I was doing when Cliff Lee got traded back to the Phillies, when Syracuse and UConn went to six overtimes, when France beat the U.S. In the World Cup Semifinals... Lots of sports ones. But stuff that matters? Meh.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Come closer, I have some candy. No, that's not the hose.

I was at work, I can't recall if we were watching the launch live or whether it was the breaking news coverage.

I remember it being horrifying in a most unreal kind of way.

It's not something I am likely to ever forget.
