Last week I overhead a 30-something coffee shop patron bragging to his 20-something latte infused companion that he was, in fact, older than Google. Experiencing a real “hold my beer” moment, I started thinking about what I can personally remember coming into existence. Hence, this post.

In no particular order, I am older than:

• Zip codes
• Area codes (Direct Distance Dialing!)
• Velcro patent
• Home computers
• Cassettes tapes for home use
• Space travel
• DVDs
• MRIs
• Digital cameras
• Polio vaccine
• Barbie dolls
• Non- glass milk bottles
• Pantyhose
• Attached gas caps

And since Bill Haley and the Comets recorded Rock Around the Clock when I was three months old, I like to think the Rock & Roll and I are the same age. R&R and I are both feeling our age, no doubt, but we’ve each had a great run. And we’re still going. Slower. Kind of hobbling. Not always sure what we are, but hanging in there.

What are you older than?
