father-son cycle

          I hear that there is a father-son cycle. One generation says, “Dad went through hell; all I want is peace”. The next generation says, “Dad was a slave; I want freedom”. The Boomer generation was of the I-want-freedom phase; the Millennials are of the I-want-peace phase.

          As a Boomer myself, I am deeply grateful to see how smart, hard-working and well-behaved young people are nowadays; much more than my own generation. I am also infuriated to see them so exploited for their civic virtues.

          May they raise hell-raisers!

A glimpse into my so-called mind

I offer this tale as a glimpse into my so-called mind.

Sherri and I were are a fancy restaurant. Across the room was a dinner-party at a big table; and right above it, one of the lamp-shades was just a little bit crooked.

Of course I didn’t cross the room, climb onto the table, walk past the dinner party, and straighten the lamp-shade; but I wanted to.
