No, I was in the South endzone.We’re you in the blimp?
Don't get up too fast.Just read an article about the 93 yr old founder of Home Depot (not the Falcons’ owner, the other co-founder).. anyway, this old guy seems like a real piece of work, railing against ‘wokeism’ and Harvard and everything else, but i digest.. the real takeaway for me was that the article said he started Home Depot in the year 1978.. now im no mathematician, but i started to do some quick math and i realized that when this 93 yr old dude started Home Depot - he was the same age i am now ! I mean, i can actally remember 1978, pretty damn well, actually.. and to think that in that exact same amount of time that i remember 1978 to now, and if i extrapolate that amount to 45 yrs from now- ill be 93 FREAKING YEARS OLD (!!!).. and guess what, there’s no guarantee ill even make it that long…. Excuse me, i need to go lay down .
Gotta let it all digest first.Don't get up too fast.
In the late 60’s I was a junior Oriole. For 1.75 you got 9 bleacher seats for any O’s home game (had to be accompanied by a paying adult-thanks dad!) plus an Orioles bumper sticker and other paraphernalia.They also sold general admission tickets for $2.50…
That’s a lot to digressJust read an article about the 93 yr old founder of Home Depot (not the Falcons’ owner, the other co-founder).. anyway, this old guy seems like a real piece of work, railing against ‘wokeism’ and Harvard and everything else, but i digest.. the real takeaway for me was that the article said he started Home Depot in the year 1978.. now im no mathematician, but i started to do some quick math and i realized that when this 93 yr old dude started Home Depot - he was the same age i am now !

Maybe I'm thinking of the Jazz. We used to buy the $4 tickets then go down to the better seats.They also sold general admission tickets for $2.50…
What's bad is that kids don't feel like things will get better.It not things that make me feel old. I don’t pine too much for my daily-driver Camaro with its need for at least twice-annual tuneups, 15k mile bias ply tires, and numerous rattles.
I pine for the unshakable belief I had while driving that Camaro that things would always get better, even when they were already good.
Don’t feel that much these days.

My son is a junior in college. He has that optimism I had at that stage of life. I really hope things work out for Carter and his generation. By and large his optimism is shared by his friends. I do get a different vibe from others of his age group though who don't have a leg up in life like he does.What's bad is that kids don't feel like things will get better.
