It's weird seeing 1992 associated with some kind of far off distant time.
- schwartzworld 8y agoIt was 26 years ago. End of the Road by Boyz II Men came out and topped the charts. I saw Home Alone 2 in the theaters. The little blond munchkin who met the future President in that movie is now 38. Cartoon Network premiered. Bill Clinton became President. Windows 3.1 and Microsoft Works were released. It's a long-ass time ago.

- grayed-down 8y agoBerlin wall? Imagine my distress at having tuned in to the modern world during the Watergate fiasco. My father had to explain to me that it was the name of a hotel and not some sort of earthworks.
