In light of it being my 21st birthday I thought I would post this quiz on some of the things that happened in 1984. I must confess, Michael Jackson with his hair on fire would be the most humorous fact to me, and I'm sure Irene among a few others can appreciate the fact that the Oilers won the cup that year. :D As for the age, is it really different than any other? Ah, not really, the first thought would be that I can now drink legally in the US (and I say, "how does this affect me?"), and it has seemed to be the first thought of more than myself, haha. Sadly, (as you can see from the first thought noted above, as well as the hair on fire) I believe I'm probably pretty much about as immature as ever, so I'll just have to see if 22 can do anything with that. :) God has really blessed me with a good life, with many years of love, encouragement, instruction and correction, so despite the difficulties here and there, I look forward to many more years of the same, according to His will.

Over and out,
