    I remember THE Luke & Laura episode on General Hospital.

    ...Solid Gold with Darcy the best dancer

    ...watching Grease when it first came out in the theaters

    ...celebrating the bi-centennial

    ...my dad getting an Apple computer when they were first introduced

    ...getting a Dorothy Hamill haircut

    ...crying to The Little House and The Prairie episode

    ...listening to country stations when Waylan Jennings, Alabama, Barbara Mandrell and Ronnie Milsap...Crystal Gayle (I could go on) were current.

    ...when Ricky Nelson was killed in a plane crash

    ...watching Princess Diana getting married, live on TV.

    ...never wanting to swim in the pool after watching "Jaws"

    It's amazing the things we can remember in detail. :)

    Remember the School House Rocks commercials?

    I have the DVD with ALL of them. My kids stare at my wife and I with a "WTF" expression as we smile and giggle as we watch them.

    The figure 8 song still blows my mind at the end...... infinity..... awesome.

    I remember running behind the mosquito fog truck so I could cover myself with the stuff....thought it would keep the mosquitoes away from me.

    I remember staying up with my brother on late Friday nights and play with the rabbit ears to try and get the NY stations on our b/w TV so we could see The Steve Allen Show.
