I vaguely remember the ‘93 bombing, and very clearly remember the OJ trial. We got the verdict over my teacher’s radio in 7th grade gym class. I was playing basketball. Shit, the day of 9/11, I was in my first few weeks of freshman year of college and was holed up my horrible 3 hour chem lab, so I didn’t find out about it until I got out at noon.
Also, apparently I’m only 10 months younger than Prince William. What’s he up to lately? Does he need a date? ;)
