Where were you in '91?  That's apparently when Mauzy was born!  I was finished with college and married saving for our first house!

I was outta school, with a good paycheck, just detached from a failed engagement, living in a condo on the lake and going to all the hottest bars !   :woot

Sometimes I wish that Mauzy was a fetus again -- my life was really fun before he got here.  :angry:
Working: Not Enough
Projects: Too Many
Progress: None

You know, my older brother says the same thing...
"Son, all hobbies suck. But if you keep at it, you might find you managed to kill some precious time."

Did you know you can do this in Freebox right? It shows the top 10 and will let you play the tracks if you have them in your library. Just wanted to mention that.

Heh.  For many of us, it would be Pac-Man, or "Videogames didn't exist yet".   :P
