I am not in the mood for New Year’s Resolutions. The past year brought some challenges which won’t magically go away with the change of a calendar. It’s going to take a quick upturn in the real estate market, and I can’t add that to 1) Get on the treadmill again 2) Quit picking my cuticles and 3) Lay off the vodka. So, instead of looking forward, I’m taking a look back. Back twenty years to 1988, also known as The Year of Big Hair.
In 1988, this woman became the longest-running British Prime Minister of the century.
Oh, wait…not that woman. This woman.
This guy named Jimmy the Greek made some stupid, ignorant comments about black athletes.
Oh, sorry. This is him.
This guy, beat up married this girl.
And, a fellow in a leisure suit was elected to public office.
Iran… …and Iraq were at war. Which is really surprising, since you hardly ever hear about fighting in the middle east.
He hit his head, then went on to win a gold medal.
And, this guy was elected president. Oh, sorry…I mean this guy.
And, just to show what an intelligent country he was elected to run. Enough people went to see this to make it the 5th top grossing movie of the year.
And, in 1988 a computer for cavemen was invented. Thank goodness times have changed.
