The Last Time The Dow Closed This Low…
- I was a sophomore in high school.
- I was taking trigonometry, little of which I remember.
- I was probably on the bench at a varsity baseball game.
- I had an online journal on Geocities.
- My ISP was Prodigy Classic.
- I was running a 486-200 with a 240MB hard drive.
- We had just upgraded it to 8MB of RAM so we could run Windows 95.
- I had bad skin and even worse hair.
- I wore nothing but cargo pants.
- I had never even tasted an alcoholic beverage.
- I was a virgin.
- I had been to New York City once.
- I was really getting into Ben Folds Five’s Whatever and Ever Amen CD.
