A client was grousing about growing up in the 1970s and how much stuff has changed. He was about 7 years older than me.

"Remember watching moon shots, dude," I asked.

His face lit up. Our families both had us watch the Apollo missions land on the moon on live television, back in the day.

"That was some shit, bro," he said.

We fist-bumped.

I remember when this one came out and all the 20 year olds I worked with told me I was too old for it 😏 #numetal #genjones #limpbizkit

@witchypoo 🤣 🤣 🤣

Oh! Now they are pushing Gen Jones back from '56 to '54 and up from '64 to '65? My, my, my...

Gen Jones - since the 1990s, the group of (Trailing-edge) Boomers ('56 to '64) who desperately don't want to be called 'Boomers. 🤣 🤣

Full disclosure: I'm a Trailing-edge Boomer (and from the 1960-64 era) and proud of it!

PS - from the complaining, I think of them as 'Generation Groans.' 🤣 🤣

(The 70s, too.) There were tons of benefits to being born #GenJones. I am so VERY grateful I got to enjoy major (& minor, also, of course) shenanigans w/o having them recorded. 😁
