This is the second time in 3 posts you have shared your tears. My middle-aged-bottom that you will survive this, too. Someone somewhere puts out a list like this every year - things that entering college freshman will have no knowledge of. Stark reminder of the development of technology, but also of human adaptation. However, some things are finite - time and space; biological processes that dictate brain growth. While the number of tv channels grows exponentially, people must still eat and sleep. Rest well, Friend, no matter what time you go to bed - for little brother to Frankie will need to eat and have no concept of time of day or night. You are sooo sensitive, Matt.

And NO VCRs, DVDs, or CDs. And they had the gall to ask me what a typewriter was, and how it worked. Brats.
