Timeline

I'm turning another year older in a little more than a month, and 37's not a very bad age to be. Lots of stuff happened in my lifetime, and here's where I stand against recent history's timeline.

I was:

31 years old at the time of the 9-11 attack on America
29 years old on the first day of Y2K
27 years old when Princess Diana was killed in a car crash
24 years old at the time of Oklahoma City bombing
23 years old when O. J. Simpson was charged with murder
22 years old at the time of the 93 bombing of the World Trade Center
20 years old when Operation Desert Storm began
19 years old during the fall of the Berlin Wall
15 years old when the space shuttle Challenger exploded
13 years old when Apple introduced the Macintosh
12 years old during Sally Ride's travel in space
10 years old when Pres. Reagan was shot by John Hinckley, Jr.
9 years old at the time the Iran hostage crisis began
5 years old on the U.S.'s bicentennial Fourth of July
4 years old when President Nixon left office
1 year old when Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace was shot
