I was born just before the Chernobyl disaster. Which explains a lot of what's wrong with me, now coming to think of it...

I hate to break it to you — we're old.

I distinctly remember the Berlin Wall coming down. It was a big deal for a while. I couldn't tell you why it was important, but I knew it was happening.

I saw the pieces of the wall outside of Berlin where they were moved just after the wall came down. I was in high school.

Christ.
