We just celebrated my daughter’s eighth birthday, and I never had any idea that eight years could pass so rapidly. I was just driving home thinking about some of the events of 2000 and how they seem to have just happened. Here’s a few of the happenings of the year 2000.
We somehow miraculously avoid a global meltdown brought on by Y2K.
The St. Louis Rams defeat the Tennessee Titans 23-16 in Superbowl XXXIV in Atlanta. I actually had to watch this one in the hospital because of my daughter’s birth.
Alaskan Airline flight 261 crashes off of the coast of California killing 88 people.
An IED explodes on Wall Street injuring several but killing none.
Vladimir Putin is elected as Russia’s president.

Microsoft is found guilty of violating antitrust laws.
Federal agents seize Elian Gonzalez from his family’s home in Miami, Fl.
Windows ME is released.
2000 Summer Olympics are held in Sydney, Australia.
The first of the Subway Series, NY Yankees vs. NY Mets world series, is held. The Yankees won the series.
Iraq rejects UN weapons inspections.
George W. Bush is elected President of the United States despite a serious outbreak of hanging chads in Florida. (I hope they have developed a cream for that by now.)

Recounts or no recounts? That was the question.
