My Kid finished his Junior year of high school today. He is now officially a Senior and I am old.
The summer before my Senior year was one of the best of my childhood. The year was 1987 and I had a dozen bikinis, a bottle of tanning oil, lemon juice to bleach out my hair, a best friend with a convertible, a boyfriend with a pool and friends with a cabin on the lake in Michigan. Life was good. Here is a video of the top 29 songs that hit #1 in 1987. Even my Kid would recognize some of the singers who were big 23 years ago: Madonna, Whitney Houston, U2, Bon Jovi and Michael Jackson included.
I hear them now and I'm 17 again.
