20 years ago this weekend maked the (first) explosion of the Space Shuttle. One of thosemoments... I've mentioned this to several older types who have told me, That's nothing compared to President Kennedy's shooting.

Whatever, old people are coffins waiting to happen, so fuck them. I was sitting in Mr. Sandiford's geometry class. He was no genius, but apparently he was a great football coach. My friend Rob and I had just invented a version of Connect-4 you could play in 2 dimensions. The school principal bursts in on the PA. You know, the one where you got called for detention. For the rest of the day, people walked around dumbstruck...watching every TV available.

What fucking brilliant people we thought we were.
