Signs of Aging

Every summer when I was growing up, I'd drive by and see these marquee signs outside high schools and think, "Good grief, those people must be old."

Today my dad drove me on the old route we used to take to school on the days he would drive me and I didn't have to be one of the only seniors on the school bus. This is what we came upon as we approached my high school.

It's all relative, isn't it?

PS Still haven't heard song memories from a lot of you readers out there. Come on! Who's your fav? Aerosmith? Twisted Sister? U2? The Police? Olivia Newton John? The Boss? Milli Vanilli? (I can't believe I put all those groups in the same paragraph.)

The Police, Sting's solo album was played until the tape broke, I played U2 a lot to keep up with the coolness, The Smiths, Peter Cetera, Richard Marx (the girls liked him), Information Society, Depeche Mode, 10,000 Maniacs, Till Tuesday, and most of all my favorite was Madonna...if we're talking about 80's

ABBA (I had a crush on the blond), The Carpenters (I had a crush on Karen), Carly Simon (I had a crush on Carly), the Eagles (no crush that I can remember, although I am told that Henley and Frey had me in mind when they wrote Desparado)

I must say that Wilson Philips was my first secular "TAPE" and anytime I hear them I think of 6th grade. Or even old school Amy Grant. Oh and one time my 8th grade boyfriend dedicated a Brian Adams song to me over the radio...that brings back fun memories :)

What a fun series!

O.k. So I was at Fort Campbell, Ky living in Clarksville, TN in the early 80's then living in Germany in the late 80's while you were in high school. What do I remember now that I am old? Wellllll - somebody did kill J.R. but I can't remember who. Maybe some of your friends remember. Then there was Dynasty and Knots Landing. Of course there was Alice (remember big hair Flo. I once had a boss who looked like |Flo) and Welcome Back Carter (John Travolta was young then) Music - one must remember Toto "Out of Africa" REO Speedwagon and Journey. Keep in mind E.T. phone home, the Gremlins, Indiana Jones and the Goonies - this is our time. Out of the 70's your sister - Libby.
