Well, not happy-happy. Just an expession. Like when you say "Good bye" do you really know what that means?

That was the day I first realized I was getting “old.” I was talking with a secretary (remember that word?) in an office at the med school where we worked. She and I were remembering where we were when we heard that JFK had been shot, and wondering if we would remember this event as vividly. After a few minutes, another staffer who’d been working there for several years said, “I hate to say this, but I wasn’t even born then.”

I was looking forward to moon landings years before I convinced my parents to let me stay up to watch the first one on TV. I grew up in the Space Age.

Something made me leap out of bed that morning 25 years ago. At the bookstore where I worked, we had five customers that day.

What brought it home to me months later was an event at the park in front of the Colorado state capitol. A Boy Scout troop dedicated a United States flag that had been aboard the Challenger and was recovered from the bottom of the ocean.

That was a strong moment and it echoes even now.
