The funny thing is how forty years goes by like no time at all.

As part of the university’s activities marking the 40th commemoration of the May 4, 1970, shootings, Kent State University will host a dedication ceremony for the historic May 4 site’s listing on the National Register of Historic Places and the opening of the new May 4 Walking Tour.

That long ago... *remembers*

I know, right?

Yeah. To snag a phrase (well, an acronym)... ECR.

So, May 5th would be the 40th anniversary of the day I got my ass kicked at the schoolbus stop for wearing a black armband.

Time, she do fly.

She do.

I didn't wear an armband. That day, I just didn't go to school.

Junior high. Don't go to school required physical evidence of serious illness- plus I was *pissed*.

Ah, semi-rural Ohio! How I do not miss thee.

I was all-but-diploma and touring colleges at the time.

I had actually been thinking of Kent State. Wound up at Penn instead. Wasn't in any emotional shape to stay there long, however.

It's yesterday.

I'm starting to think that a hundred years is yesterday, too.

Maybe we're just bad at yesterday.
