| Introduction | The Fifties: I was a little kid. Think "Leave it to Beaver." The Sixties: preteen and teen. Think the daughter in "Mad Men." The Seventies: College, master's degree, work as a journalist and TV writer, marriage, and a baby. Think "Annie Hall." The eighties: Mommyhood, some part-time work. Think "Thirtysomething." The nineties: Drama mom, sports mom, soccer mom, part-time college instructor teaching memoir writing. Got teaching credential at the end of the decade. Think "For Better or For Worse." This decade: teacher at San Mateo High School. Lots of graduations in my family and at the school. Think "Saved by the Bell!" Note: I cannot figure out to underline or italicize, so I resorted to "quotes." |
