Nearly 50 years

So, as I clocked out of work at the Organic Market, one of the managers and I struck up a conversation about Friday Summer foot-traffic at the market. She about age 29, me 63, I said, "Thank God the first half hour wasn't crazy busy, cause the truck was late." She agreed. I continued, "You know today is like the last summer vacation day for kids in sports and band. Sport practices now start like, when?" She replied, "Monday. You're right..." I added, "You know what's funny? When I started high school, we didn't start cross-country practice till the Saturday before Labor Day. That was like nearly 50 years ago." I nearly laughed. She smiled. I remarked, "Yeah, that's when girls were just starting to be able to run long distances. Amazing. Huh?" The look on her face was priceless. 😇
