22 Years Ago Today

From my 80s journal:

Tue. April 22
Happy Birthday Heather. I played badmitten at noon. I had A states & capitals test today. I got A 98. After school I played basketball with Anthony, T. J. & Toby. I pulled Toby on a Pixie bike with my 3-wheeler, he pulled me a little to. I went to see my aunt Blanche tonight. She has cancer. I watched "Who's The Boss?" tonight. Then me & Mom & Sel Copeland went to look for Halleye's Commet. We didn't see it.

• I was definitely smitten with Heather Smith. She was my on-again, off-again girlfriend for a few years.
• My Aunt was my grandmother's sister. She did not live too much longer.
• A states and capitals test would have been right up my alley.
• Trying to see Halley's Comet would have been right up my alley too.
