Juicy News From Old Friends This Weekend

I went to my high school reunion last night.

Kinda.

Sorta.

It was on Zoom.

And there were only three of us.

But it was great to reconnect with the old gang.

We go way back.

But it had been a long time since we spoke.

Here’s what I learned…

A Generation Gap

One of our classmates became a congressman.

The valedictorian disappeared.

Another guy became gay.

And another became a woman.

My friends didn’t have such juicy news from their lives.

One worked in tech and now lives in California, and the other is a lawyer in Budapest.

But I did discover something interesting about them that I had never known before: they both had older fathers.

They are now in their 50s, but still haven’t reached the age yet that their fathers were when they were born.

I asked them, Did that create any problems?

Yes, there was a generation gap.

Their fathers fought in World War Two and became men early.

While they played video games and listened to Duran Duran on their Walkmans.

It was hard for them to connect.

I went to bed thinking about this.

Isn’t this true with every generation?

Especially these days?

The children being born today will grow up in a world very different from what we’ve known.

What are your thoughts?
