I like 70s art, music, and history -- probably since I wasn't around and missed it and want to learn.
And I'm also fascinated by nostalgia. I try to read every comment each week on the hashtag, #AT40. And each week, I'm impressed by everyone's writing skills. Nostalgia creates.

Now, I've probably reached the point where I know everyone and what they like and what they'll tweet about, and I get a little bored with my knowledge of you and sometimes feel like I need to move on with my life. But if I skip a week, it will lessen your week.
And I have nowhere to go.. and I know that if I said I wanted a day off, you'd support me.
But it sometimes feels like a chore. And it feels like people only like me and stick around because I do the countdowns. And I don't want that, either.

So you say you tried
But you just can't find the pleasure
People around you givin' you pressure
Try to resist all the hurt that's all around you
If you taste it, it will haunt you 🎤

So, during this #AT40 flashback, I'll tell the story of what it was like to go to my high school in 1978.
I was a science nerd because as a working class kid I figured the only real jobs were in STEM, and I did love chemistry. But I hated math. /1

My trig teacher was the head of the Math dept, a 347 year old spinster who hated all living things and, I think, ate kittens for breakfast. Anyway, she looked at my PSAT and decided that I should be an A+ student in trig, not realizing that I was just good at taking exams. /2
And I was struggling with trig and she decided to call my parents and suggest that I was lying about my bad grades because she hadn't heard from them and assumed the silence was because I had burned my report cards or something. She was, uh, not a warm person. /3
