I reached a milestone today. I became cordless 50 years ago when dad snipped my umbilical cord.
I am a product of the 60’s, a planned child but unscheduled. If you can’t remember where you were, or weren’t, here’s a glimpse at Americana in 1963…
- Jack Nicklaus won his first Masters (and $125,000)
- Alfred Hitchcock directed “The Birds,” a movie that still freaks me out
- The Flintstones were a TV hit (I always had a crush on Betty)
- The Chevy Impala was a top seller
- The first successful liver transplant occurred
- The sedative valium became available
- The United States unemployment rate was 6.1%
- The average cost of a new house was under $20,000
- The average American income was $5,807
- The average cost of a new car was $3,233
- A gallon of regular gas cost $0.30
- American life expectancy was 70 years
- AT & T introduced touch tone phones
- Zip codes were first implemented in the USA
- Michael Jordan and Johnny Depp were born
- My wife, Hun, was 2 years old (She’s still older than me.)
I downloaded this information from the new iPhone Hun bought me. It came with programmed reminders, which reminds me my first call is to schedule a colonoscopy…
That story is just around the bend.
