"Seventeen years ago? Naw! That's got to be" a misprint!"
No kidding! If someone asked me when it happened, I'd probably saw, at most, five years ago. Seventeen is really incredible.
But it's true, as you age, you feel the time passes more quickly.
That was back before Fox News. You probably watched it on CNN. I stopped watching CNN back in 1996 when my cable company added Fox and MSNBC.
