Twenty Years Ago
12-31-84 Monday. Another year has passed like water under the bridge. Whereas five years ago I entered the decade of the eighties, I now enter the second half of the eighties. Can it be? I can still remember the strangeness of writing "1980" on my notes at school. Soon I'll be writing "1990," and then "2000." And all this sentimentality for artificial benchmarks! I'm getting older; there's no denying it.
