when i need to ask a kid how to turn on the tv because i can’t figure out the remotes.
when i hear about some group that kids like and i have no clue what they’re talking about.
when i hear a song on the radio that was from my high school years and the DJ says the song is 25 years old.
when, now during the election time, i think back to all the presidents that i’ve lived through: nixon, ford, carter, reagan, bush, clinton, bush. i think about the carter years (when i was an adolescent), seeing the helicopter leaving vietnam with the people hanging off it on the news (when i was about 6 or 7), seeing nixon on the news.
when i think about how it was not that long ago when there were no personal computers, when i was little, most people did not have answering machines, there were no VCR’s, there was no caller ID, no cell phones, phones were dialed and had cords.
