You can probably guess when someone was born by whether they
recognize certain TV shows from their youth. I come from the
"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea/Disney/Bonanza/The FBI" Sunday
night TV generation. I can't quite place any other shows to a
particular day but those shows seem to stick in my mind as family
TV night shows. I think "The Man from Uncle" would have been
Thursdays. Now think of how meaningless the above is for someone
born in 1990. (-: We're getting old and in the way, but only the
good die young.

We must be about the same age. :-)

Have you ever noticed how few younguns there are around here? I wonder
if
it means that the new generation isn't interested in home repair.

Most of the younuns aren't interested in anything but ipods, video
games, and skate-boards, gettin' high or gettin' laid. The only "fix"
they have in their lexicon is the one that makes them (or their
friends) high.

You know, there's a number of items in your list that many of us
"olduns" are still interested in.
Yup, but not to the exclusion of all else.
Well, most of us. A friend of mine hasn't been getting anything
accomplished this summer except getting "high" (flying his plane) and
getting "laid"

It's good to have hobbies. What I hate most is that now that I have to
money to be able to do all the things I wanted to do when I was young, I am
not young enough to do them anymore (without serious consequences, anyway!)
Youth is indeed wasted on the young. But the joke's on them. We're going
to leave them bankrupt, choking on air pollution with nothing but Soylent
Green to eat.
