"My wish for the New Year -
That you have someone to love,
have meaningful work to do,
and have things greater than yourself to believe in;
that you have a reason to smile every day
and a shoulder to cry on when you need it;
that you keep your integrity even when the choices are hard;
that you love deeply, give freely,
forgive willingly, laugh easily,
and live well enough to be grateful for every day."
- Margaret B. Moss
A few years back, I had my old 45 RPM records out to look through and my daughter asked what they were. I explained that back in the 1960s before CDs were invented, this was how we listened to music. I further explained how all the bands issued singles on these "45s," and radio stations would rate the top 40 songs every week.
She was quite impressed as I continued describing how one used a phonograph to play them.
I burst out laughing when she asked -- perfectly straight faced -- "Daddy, how many megs of RAM does one of these hold?"
While I was walking on our street the other day, I saw my neighbor outside.
He informed me that the following week they were going to have their 40th wedding anniversary. However, he added, "But, I HAVE to go back to work."
Knowing there's a pandemic right now, I said, "You HAVE to?"
He said, "Yes, our marriage is contingent upon me being out of the house 50 hours a week."
