      scottydawg and I are older than both of you.

       

      The only concert I remember regretting was The Grateful Dead in 1993. Jerry was not well and they were AWFUL.

       

      It's likely I saw Little Feat the year Kristin was born, though. I think I saw them once a year for many years.

       

      Yeah, but you're smokin' hot

        You were a senior in college?  Ugh, we're the same age, you just must be smarter than me because  I was only a sophomore in College.  I also was got married the year, Kristin was born.

         

        But you are fastervthan me.

         

        I was a senior in October when Kristen was born, so only a junior in the first half of 1985. I was younger than many students; I didn't turn 18 until midway through second semester freshman year.

          So I guess we are of pretty similar vintage.

          +1 on being a senior in fall 1985

          +1 on turning 18 late freshman year (April). Which was totally sucky because it also meant not turning 21 till shortly before graduating.

            When did that ever deter a college student from doing what I assume you had in mind?

              Um, yeah, it didn't. Just had to get more creative sometimes. I probably drank more before turning 21 than over the rest of my life since.

                I probably drank more freshman year in college than any other time in my life.

                  I could not tell you how much I drank in that period, but it was enough to make the rest of my life look pretty damn tame.  lol

                    Since this is a running forum - 1985 was the year I set my 15K PR, and the year I stopped running for 23 years.

                     

                    Come to think of it, that was probably about the time I had my first introduction to running. There was a gal who was probably 18 or so working for the ranch we lived on who had run the mile and two-mile in high school, and I think I went with her on a couple of runs, maybe a mile or two at time was all. But it started me thinking I might be able to run those events when I got to high school. I did (slowly).

                    20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.
