Mike's Place

 

By Michael L. Craner

Yep.


We of the older generations that you of the younger generations that incorrectly label anyone born in the last century as "boomers" can be a bit surly, to your eyes even be backwards thinking, rigid, and disdainful of you.


That's fair.


We largely felt the same of those before us and we were also rude, crude, and uncaring at times. For the most part we grew out of it and came to understand what our parents and grandparents meant and came to respect that. Most of you will too in time, which is why most of us don't complain about you nearly as much as we'd like to.


When most of your Hollywood and music heroes have passed on, and you've buried a few friends and maybe even raised a child or two, you'll understand. You still may not agree with us, at least in some things... but you'll come to understand as we have... that we're all just trying to do the best we can.


Be kind, rewind.
