a little melancholy

Just sitting here listening to Tim Mcgraw, and thinkin.... I have been blessed to be able to be current with technology, etc. I have the answer to any question available within seconds by simply flipping open my phone and connecting to the internet. But at times I kinda wonder if thats always a good thing. But I digress... Interesting when I listen to my children from the next room. They talk to each other, and, except for the pitch of their voices, you would think they are 17 years old with how they interact with each other. And when you watch them, their mannerisms are so adult, especially Rylee. She will lean against the wall, with her feet crossed, and scold Ian for whatever it is he's doing tha she thinks he shouldn't be doing.

anyway, I said I was listening to Tim Mcgraw... kinda making me think about when I was growing up, and, man were things a notch different then. Didnt know I had it so good....

Don't you remember
The fizz in a pepper
Peanuts in a bottle
At ten, two and four
A fried bologna sandwich
With mayo and tomato
Sittin' round the table
Don't happen much anymore

We got too complicated
It's all way over-rated
I like the old and out-dated
Way of life

Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when
-Tim Mcgraw
