The Rant Goes On

I'm usung a lighter shade of green this post - while I'm a creature of habit, routine gets tiresome and troublesome.

A few random thoughts:

Kids today have IPods, Blackberries, cell phones, instant messaging and access to the world wide web at their fingertips. They can store more music on a MP3 player than I had in my vinyl collection back in the day. They drive cars that are so computer-oriented, changing the oil at home is almost impossible. The day of the shade tree mechanic is done and past. We're quick and convenient, but we're missing something - take a look at my blog of January 19 - I cited the need for us Baby Boomers to come to terms with the fact that we really needed a plan of action several decades ago. We had a vision but needed something to make the transition to viable plan. I guess that's where the young and not-so-passioned have the edge on my generation - they're thinking things through and perhaps formulating something we didn't. You'll never change my opinion, though, that we had the best music.
