By the way, I'd been fishing out frogspawn in a jar from a pond the day JFK was killed.

Pacific Daylight Time, about 35 miles south of Seattle. The day Jack Kennedy was killed, I remember being in the 3rd grade in elementary school. We were taken from our classroom to another one down the hall where the school's only television set was set up and the live news was going with all the reports coming in.

Frogspawn-is that what we here in the "colonies" call tadpoles?
