The Year I Was Born.
What events happened the year I was born?

Well, the big one was the Watergate scandal which culminated in the resignation of Richard Nixon. It actually caused a bit of confusion because every once in a while someone asks who was president when I was born and the answer is technically Richard Nixon, but I was just a few weeks old when he was replaced by Gerald Ford. My father sometimes says jokingly that I picked a very good time to be born.

Of course, this gives these events a somewhat more personal side for. I remember back in 2004, some newspaper announced that the thirtieth anniversary of Watergate was this year and then went into a diatribe about what that meant for the nation, but I didn't care what that mean for the nation. I only cared what that meant for me, which was that I was turning 30.
