Wings and Things, a set on Flickr.

Hard to believe that it has been about 5 years since we lived in England. I really miss going to these kind of car & plane shows. Sadly this was the last year (2006) of the Woodchurch Wings & Things show. Good Times & Good Friends.





Generation X Doesn’t Want to Hear It

19 10 2011

Heather found Mat Honan’s tumblr linked over on Facebook. All I can say is:

Brilliant, brilliant brilliant.

And, I wish I wrote it.

Generation X Doesn’t Want to Hear It

Earlier generations have weathered recessions, of course; this stall we’re in has the look of something nastier. Social Security and Medicare are going to be diminished, at best. Hours worked are up even as hiring staggers along: Blood from a stone looks to be the normal order of things “going forward,” to borrow the business-speak. Economists are warning that even when the economy recuperates, full employment will be lower and growth will be slower—a sad little rhyme that adds up to something decidedly ­unpoetic. A majority of Americans say, for the first time ever, that this generation will not be better off than its parents.

New York Magazine

Generation X is sick of your bullshit.

The first generation to do worse than its parents? Please. Been there. Generation X was told that so many times that it can’t even read those words without hearing Winona Ryder’s voice in its heads. Or maybe it’s Ethan Hawke’s. Possibly Bridget Fonda’s. Generation X is getting older, and can’t remember those movies so well anymore. In retrospect, maybe they weren’t very good to begin with.

But Generation X is tired of your sense of entitlement. Generation X also graduated during a recession. It had even shittier jobs, and actually had to pay for its own music. (At least, when music mattered most to it.) Generation X is used to being fucked over. It lost its meager savings in the dot-com bust. Then came George Bush, and 9/11, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Generation X bore the brunt of all that. And then came the housing crisis.

Labor Day 2011, a set on Flickr.

Hanging out with Grandpa & Maggie in Savannah, GA.

Heather and I FINALLY got the kids to stop sitting on every sand castle part until we finished… Ella is Notorious for sitting on a freshly cast piece when my back is turned.

Finally made a trip over to the Hunley Museum. I wish they allowed photography in the conservation area (where the original is held). Instead all I have are shots of the replica used in the TNT movie.

Cheap Pool, a set on Flickr.

Tired of repairing the blow up pool, we improvised.

Guess we’ll have to get a new one next summer.

This zoo could be so much better. Ah well, the kids enjoyed most of it. :)

They did ask “Where the rest of it?” on the way out.
