Old and New Random Thoughts

Thoughts expressed a few years ago to my sons. (New stuff in bold)

I can carry more music in my shirt pocket than I owned in my entire teen years.

My TV cost $800 four years ago and it’s small and outdated, and was very cheap but I didn’t know it. (Now my TV is bigger than yours!)

My daughters made fun of my 3 way speakers with 12” woofers because they’re so outdated and big. (I’ve replaced them with small ones that don’t sound nearly as good, but I don’t use them too often.)

When I bought my old computer 5 years ago it had 40 GIG’s and I thought I’d never need anything that big, and now it’s full. (I had to get a new hard drive with 60 GIG’s and gave it to my daughters and now it’s trash and we bought them a new one, of course!)

I find myself advising people on electronic purchases when I can hardly spell electronic purchases.

If I eat any more food this Christmas holiday (or any holiday) I can start a new career with the circus.

Why does my dog keep wanting to put his tongue up my nose?

Now my daughter’s friends now get in trouble with each other, not with the old junior high traditional “slam book”, but they now have blogs where they dis each other. (As I will do with mine!)

Are we all living out loud? (I am!)

JVC has a radio commercial for new TV’s and I don’t understand anything in it except that it’s about TV’s and it’s a JVC commercial.

I bought my youngest daughter a web cam for Christmas and I am concerned that she’ll start to dance naked on the web. If she does, can we make some money on this or is it kiddy porn? (No on both counts)

What did Carol King mean when she said “My life is just a tapestry of rich and royal hue”, and is my life that way?

As we age we really do not “get better”, that was just some commercial put upon us by sneaky people selling us something.

Was there ever really a Freedom 55? Is there a Freedom 85, ‘cause I’m on it!
