With the excitement of the Democratic National Convention and Obama making history, a few other things fell to the side. For one, today (08.29.08) Michael Jackson turned 50 years olds. That is amazing. I remember when he and his brothers started out. My fifth grade class was just crazy for the Jackson Five. Sometimes you can look at a person that you knew when they were younger and say, “You haven’t changed a bit. You still look the same.” But you can’t exactly say that about Michael.

Anyway, I had some fun going down memory lane…
