Crimminy, I am old

It’s one thing to feel out of touch with current popular music as I was never hip enough to be in touch to begin with.

The 30th anniversary of Star Wars also made me feel old but I could rationalize that.  I was three years old when I first saw Star Wars and can barely remember the circumstances.  It feels like a long time ago but it’s also pretty much the course of my entire life.

Now I read that it’s the the 20th anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation.  I was in high school when that show debuted which means that it’s been 20 years since I started high school!  And the series ended around the time I finished college!  These are recent memories, but 20 years is a long, long time.

There’s only one conclusion that can be reached from theses details:  I am an old fogey.

Anyhow, Star Trek: The Next Generation is one of my all-time favorite shows.  I’ll have to get some DVD’s to watch and try to relive my misspent youth.
