Subject: These Days

In the good old days, young people believed in steady dating, then, long engagements.

These days, they don't even believe in long introductions.

I understand the need to have pets neutered with the over-abundance of them in this country today.

But now, the Yuppie set is even having their tropical fish "fixed".

We've come a long way from that first mushroom-shaped atomic explosion plume.

With the emphasis on health these days, I understand they now come in carrot, broccoli and celery.

I miss the long-legged sun-tanned beauties of the good old days.

Back then if you saw a girl with a tan all over, it meant she probably did everything under the Sun.

In the good old days when a teenaged boy "ran out of gas", it meant his car had no gasoline.

These days when a girl says that, it means HE did.

Speaking of teenaged boys (I was) in times past a guy going on a date called for her at the door, and even came in and sat down and talked a bit.

Imagine my surprise when my own Daughter was dating and a guy actually came to the door. He looked at me sheepishly and said, "Sir, you'll have to excuse me for coming to your door to get Sandy, my horn is broken."

I'm not really sure we're better off with all these new gadgets in the house.

Personally, I find it rather intimidating to be surrounded by all this stuff that's smarter than I am.
