I enjoyed the Westinghouse video! It reminded me of the things we saw when we visited the Worlds Fair in NY when we were kids.

Crystal, I love this. And it’s such a nice reminder of how we can see our younger selves in what we’ve written. We just have to keep it! (Or find it again through a platform, as you did!)

I had some blogs back then too! I for sure overshared, but also didn't name people or locations. When I read back over some entries it was hard to figure out what I was talking about. One of my very best friends today I met through my blog from 20 years ago!

I made so many friends from that blog. But it was stunning how much information I freely shared. It's somewhat horrifying.

Oh yeah. I made a ton of friends and the time...and I divulged...a LOT. So much so that when I when I was laid off in 2008 and started my own company, I started a new blog and took my name off of it so that my new company and old blog wouldn't get connected...but then I barely blogged because it felt too restrictive to not share as much! Whew how times have changed!!
