Re: [asa] Moonwalk: Where was I?

Well, okay then. So you and Bethany force me appreciate that I'm not
the youngest kid on the block any more. Being the youngest in my
family, I still have that mindset ---even being bald and in my
forties. I am slowly forced to come to terms with the fact that none
of my students were alive during the Reagan administration.

By the way, to echo Wally's recommendation, "the Dish" is a great movie,
and based on true events too, I guess? Hope I'm remembering the right
one ---where the Australians play their part in communicating with the
Apollo astronauts. Great recommendation, John.
