Jennifer is pretty frustrated she was born in 1993, making her 16 this next Saturday.
She'd rather the birthday read something like 1943, making her in her 20s during the love, sex and rock and roll 60s.
We had just finished watching the History Channel's take on Woodstock, and we were both impressed, both with Woodstock and the 60s in general.
But I had to remind her, that one of the reasons that Woodstock came together was that little "police action" known as the Vietnam War. And then there was the assassination of the Kennedy brothers, racial violence, war protests and the Manson family.
True, it was the era of change, of shaking things up, of when all things (including walking on the moon) were possible and I think that's what appeals to her most.
