The Cold War Fell
I realize I should have done this on 9 November, but I didn't feel like it. Instead . . . I'm a few days late. Kiss it, I amused you in the meantime.
We all know by now, and if you don't you should be ASHAMED, that 9 November marked the twenty year anniversary of the Berlin Wall falling. Now, I bet you want to know where this historian was? I bet you think I have some kind of magical story about staring at the face of Communism and tyranny crumbling down, that I stood united with others, chanting and crying, rejoicing about the destruction of evils gone by? Yea well . . . this historian was in Fort Wayne, IN at Holy Cross Lutheran, in the seventh grade, and most likely getting into some kind of trouble with Steve, Jill, and Andy. Mostly, that concerned Steve and me spending a lot of time in the hallway. The day the wall fell I do remember sitting in the hall cutting jokes with Steve because . . . drum roll please . . . we got kicked out of religion class. Good times. For the record, I remember it for various reasons, but we all remember those "Kennedy moment" days.
And yes, I know, I am doomed.
