The Challenger was my first pivotal date. Strange, what events form you, isn't it?

I remember all kinds of dates. And I remember the names of all the dogs at the SPCA in the past two years. Most of the cats and rabbits... I also remember all my pets birthdays, my parents birthdays and their anniversary. And of course my birthday (also April 24)
