Yes, I remember it like it was yesterday ... :p

Lets see 27 years ago I was 35 riding high on selling time-share staterooms on a little cruise ship out of Plainview Long Island, New York.

I had a sweet little 20 year old girlfriend for a secretary who insisted on taking showers with me every morning to help save water.

I can remember just about everything about that time frame, except that darn plane ... but I do remember seeing the first B-2 fly over
for a football game down in Southern California.

Wow! That was some sight ... I still think they copied a crashed UFO to build that thing ...
