Back and to the left
Nov. 22nd, 2006 02:59 pmToday is the 43rd anniversary of JFK's assassination. (Fun fact: C.S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley died the same day.)
Officially, I'm supposed to be a Baby Boomer--going by the definition that it's people born between 1946 and 1964--but I think that the real cutoff point is that you have to be old enough to remember the assassination. When I was an undergraduate, in 1984, one of my instructors mentioned casually that "we can all remember what we were doing when we heard that Kennedy had been shot." I told her that my memories were a bit fuzzy, as I was a three-month-old fetus at the time.
