Living the Future

How did the year 2010 get here? I remember reading about what the future would be like. There would be robots and flying cars and moving sidewalks. We kind of have those things, they are all at the airport. Sometimes I feel like I am flying to fast into the future. I was trying to explain to Codie what things were like when i was little and it sounded like I was a hundred years old. I wish some things were still that simple. We just need to eliminate things that take up our time and use our time for the most important people.
Each year we all try to start out better and its a good thing to do. I like to say "don't quit quitting". It hurts my ears grammatically but it reminds me to keep trying even if it is the nine hundredth time. Here's to January!

My kids think that I am ancient in all of my 30 years on this planet. It would be nice if things were a bit more simple (and aquanet and pegged pants were still cool).

I hear you, Mindy. I remember when in my early 20s (cough: 30 years ago) a friend and I were talking about a news article saying by the turn of the century we would have things similar to watches that had a television type screen and we'd be able to talk to people as far away as Africa and see them on our screen! I have a watch that's larger than some cell phones.

Ha! It sounded so bizarre back then.

I yearn for simpler times too. But, if we reverted to simpler times, our children would then know, not just think, we were a bit off our rockers!
