I really enjoyed The Dish.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I was spending that summer studying in France. (why our parents let all of us Middle Schoolers go to France for 8 weeks kinda blows my mind now). We all got up to watch it on a tiny TV in the main lounge of the dorms we were staying in in Strasbourg. I remember more the feeling of all of us packed into the room all quietly intent on one small black and white screen than I do the actual images of the landing.

Our wings are not tired.
Well, I have now ahem acquired
The Dish
and
A Walk on the Moon
for my summer viewing pleasure. I'm looking forward to this very much.

I was 12 and at Girl Scout camp in Big Bear. July 20th 1969 was the only time I remember us getting to watch TV in the 3 years I went to camp there. We were all in the dining hall riveted to the set. On the way back to the tent, I remember looking up at the moon and thinking "wow there are guys up there right now". It was very cool.

I can remember the moon landing, but it also blurs in with all the other moon landings for me. We had a big map of the moon in our den, it covered an entire wall. My mom would put a little marker on the place where each mission landed.

Is it bad to say I am currently glad I don't remember the moon landing (because I wasn't born at the time)? I'm feeling old lately.

I was almost 2 months old at the time. I don't remember it very well.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My older brother spent the moon landing jumping out of his cot and giving himself concussion. You could say he got caught up in the moment.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, I'm doing apartment searching now. When you fill out an application for an apartment and they ask for your previous landlord's #, what do they ask for? I'm curious because my current landlord is all mad at me and stuff....
