The Space Gerneration

I believe people like myself, born between 1960 and 1965, should be called the Space Generation because we cannot relate to Boomers or Gen X.

What we can relate to is space. And while we were too young to remember the first two men to go into space in 1961, we were definitely old enough to remember and watch all of the televised launches after 1965, as well as the first moon landing.

These first successful and tragic events were etched into our minds as we stared breathlessly into our black-and-white TVs, and from that point on, we were hooked.

Throughout the years, we’ve continued to watch as each new generation took on the task. And even though the world no longer stops with each rocket launch, we do. Because to us—or at least to me—it’s still amazing to stare breathlessly, with fingers crossed.

Stop Chasing The Money

This video spotlights an independent business owner with a good message. And I agree that to be a successful small business owner, you need to find a nice balance between your vision, profits, and customer satisfaction—something large companies struggle with.

But I have to say, I also found it interesting that the sponsor of this video was Walmart. A company that has crushed many small businesses in the areas it has moved into.

Very Short Stories

Today’s word was yet, and I wrote a story about the endless nights of bar hopping.

My lips press against hers, yet I feel nothing.
The lights come on. It’s closing time.

My lips press against hers, #yet I feel nothing.
The lights come on. It’s closing time.

My lips press against hers, and I feel love.
Please, God, let her feel the same way.
