I was... 10? 11? 12? What year was that? In any case, old enough to have some idea of what was going on, especially as I was in a devout Roman Catholic household at the time.

Ah, ok. So I was 12 with JP and 13 with JP2.

And geeeez! It really was every few months, wasn't it!?

I was just a couple of years shy of HS graduation.

But I'm only 37! :D
