Preston pointed out to me the other day that if Back to the Future were set in the present-day and released this year, the Michael J. Fox character would have gone back 30 years, to the year 1980.

Instead of Coke in funny glass bottles and poodle skirts, kids today would see their hero dealing with no internet or cell phones and high cut jeans and The Empire Strikes Back and The Love Boat and Reagan's election and um, the Cold War?

WTF when did I get SO OLD?!?!?

We could go back and watch ourselves playing Oven, Freezer, Push in my parents' front yard! Life was pretty great in 1980.

Was totally laughing to myself on the Max over this last night. How on earth did we come up with that concept? Ah, the days when jumping off a tiny porch over a bush was all we needed to be happy. :)
