The year was 2008–TV shows premiering included “Breaking Bad,” “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” and “Love It or List It”…We listened to “Our Song,” “All Summer Long,” “I Kissed A Girl” and “You’re Gonna Miss This” on the radio…Popular movies included “Twilight,” “Step Brothers” and “Gran Torino”…Sarah Palin became the GOP nominee for vice-president…and a late summer stock market crash was due to overreaching in the housing market.
