I so miss those!!

Who remembers the McDLT?
Bisected styrofoam tray... to "keep the hot side hot, and the cool side cool"

Honestly - it wasn't a bad concept, if only it wasn't a McDonalds 'grade D but edible' beef patty on there...

And I'm feeling really old, personally.
I teach skateboarding lessons to kids through my town's recreation department, at the local skatepark... want to give back to the community, you know... (that was actually helping me feel young!)
...and had the realization last year that many of these guys were born in or even after 1995.
Shocking to me, because I realized that I'd been driving for many many years (since 1990), and the reason that 1995 was such a shocking number was because I bought my first NEW car in 1995...

And of course I owned probably 3 cars before that.

I have boxes of music that I had when I was a teenager... on cassette tape.
I'm actually in the process of trying to burn them into MP3 format, because lots of it has sentimental value to me, I love that old stuff.

Back when I was in school, 'pirating music' was "hey man, can you make me a copy of that album? I'll give you a blank tape..."
Today, 'pirating music' is about having a high-speed internet connection and downloading MP3 files.

Unbelievable, really...

Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your kids

But Honestly, charish every minute, they really grow up fast and time does fly

All I can listen to in terms of rock now is only classic rock. Lost our new rock station, but have 2 remaining classic rock ones!
