    I remember when plurals ended in "s" instead of "z".

    Reading recaps of a couple college football all-star games I’m reminded about when the Hula Bowl was a big deal.

    Before every college game was televised, the January game in Hawaii was a rare opportunity to see most of the top seniors before the draft.

    Hell, I remember when it was a rare opportunity to see Hawaii.

    What version of Hawaii are you talking about?

    A great many things these days, but telling my nephews about the majesty of old arcades a few weeks ago made me take a step back in my mind.
    And that they'll never really know how great or culturally relevant arcades were made me feel a little bit sad.

    As a kid (I know some STILL view it at such) Hawaii seemed like a foreign planet with the beaches and volcanos, let alone it being winter on the mainland. It might as well have been the moon. And yeah, I watched 5-0 too.

    I have to Google search just about every acronym people use on here. It's especially irritating that I remember GOAT being the player who screwed up the game, not ... well, you know.

    Little irritating things like arthritis requiring knee bands and braces to play hoops; jammed fingers. 30 yr olds asking to take control of the music for hoops because they are tired of Run-DMC and Beastie Boys.

    My wife bought an antique milk bottle the other day and I explained to the kids what a milkman was -- and that my parents had one when I was a baby. Made me feel a lot older than 43.

    The GOAT thing makes me double take every time I see it.
