Sign #1: I asked our office manager to order me a VHS head cleaner this morning. I had to convince her I was not joking (needed it for a collection we’re digitizing) and remind her that I really couldn’t just pop down to Blockbuster and buy one.

Sign#2: Went to the hot dog stand across the street for lunch today. There was a cute youngster of about 2o wearing a Violent Femmes Hallowed Ground T-shirt. I mentioned that I had seen them on that tour. He said he had too. I was very confused. Turns out he saw them on the 40th anniversary reissue tour a few weeks ago. I, on the other hand, saw them in 1984 on the tour from when the album was first released.

I’m OK with getting old (the alternative sucks). I just hope I never become an old person. Yes, there is a difference.
