November 16th, 2010

I don’t remember the date of my first kiss. 

I do know the date JFK was assassinated.

I know the date of Pearl Harbor.

I know my birthday, and my wife’s birthday, and our anniversary. And our kids’ birthdays, too. 

September 11th is so iconic that we refer to it by its date.

But November 16th, 2010 is the one forever seared into my memory above all other dates. The Beatles are on iTunes. As Apple predicted, we will never forget.
