1988

Will the Reagan Years never end? Bush (senior) gets elected. More of the same, only worse. I had him pegged for a self-righteous warmonger right from the first debate, and I haven't changed my opinion yet.
Personally, I danced a lot, painted a lot, did a lot of anima work--dreaming how the other sex feels! But drifting along in a suburban job was getting old. I chafed for change. I just wish the rest of the country had shared my feelings. Maybe we'd have been spared the Gulf War.
