The Dark Ages

[pyat]

My older sister and I, circa 1977. No Internet, no DVD, no VHS, no Betamax, no cable...

Yep, we'd sit around the ol' spinnin' shoe for hours, mesmerized.

Second half of '77 was me waiting for my baby brother to be born.

"Is he born yet?"
"No."
"Is he born yet?"
"No."
"Is he born yet?"
"N... wait.... yes."
"Hooray!"

Actually it was along the lines of waiting until April 2nd, 1978. They had to keep Jim in the hospital for about a week before he and our mom came home. When the car came up, I ran up, went past my mom and was quoted saying "Where's my baby?"
