1. I had to look it up

I remember I was just out of college, it was 1984. So it was 40 years ago, not "yesterday".

Pedant mode off.

And it was 5 years after I graduated from college. Still, it was quite a while ago

I don't understand how they keep growing older, when I'm still 29.

I remember her in the early 70s so I looked her up. I was surprised, too.

I'll never think of Janet in the same way again. Bimmer.
