And I mean in like, The 2011 Japan earthquake where our days literally got faster, COVID because … Y’know. COVID. Etc.

What’s a time in your life you experienced something like that, when was it and what ended up happening to you?

    I must say that nothing afterwards has ever given me the feeling of This Changes Everything quite the way the fall of the Berlin Wall did.

    Two evenings ago I had dinner with a friend who grew up on the other side of the wall. It’s not something that we really talk about very often, but it’s impossible to forget.

      Something similar happens to me. I get shocked every time I meet someone who was born in the USSR.

      I was at the thrift store the other day and I found a box for $5 for sale that had a piece of the Berlin Wall in it.

      I don’t even know why, but I had to snap it up, and now it’s sitting on my little curio shelf.
