Oy. I keep forgetting that WordPress, like Blogger, doesn’t save stuff in this little entry box. If I’m writing stuff and I navigate away, it’s lost forever. And that’s what happens to me. I’m writing about the date, let’s say today (since 1\/11\/10 is so delightfully binary, though not as wonderful as 1\/11\/11), and then I say, “Ooh, something sparkly!” and I click on a link and poof.

So where were you on 9\/9\/99? Or 8\/8\/88? Or 7\/7\/77? Or 6\/6\/66?<\/p>\n

Of these, I remember clearly only 7\/7\/77. Summer school: I was in George May’s art class at Roosevelt High School in East Los Angeles, where my dad taught math.

And for those of you too young to remember Red Buttons<\/a>, well,<\/p>\n

Fine teacher, George May. Taught me how to draw.<\/p>\n

6\/6\/66, I would have been four, looking forward to kindergarten, not realizing that kindergarten was ruled by a witch who would forever be locking me up in “the kitchen” all because I wouldn’t stop harassing this one girl (with whom I’m friended on Facebook).<\/p>\n

Where were you?<\/p>\n
