*** YOUR MESSAGE ***

Now I really feel old.  I didn't think that I remembered anything from 19 years
ago, but I remember that blackout.  I was 4 years old and living in Manhattan.
All I remember is my brother (2 years older) and I sitting on the floor in the
kitchen, in front of the candles, singing to keep from being scared.  I also
remember looking out of our 10th floor window and being amazed that the traffic
lights weren't working and that all the other buildings were dark.  It was the
first time I'd ever seen cars actually NEEDING headlights to see where they were
going.
