• The Accidental Cougar

  October 30, 2009

  • Somehow I managed to fall through the cracks when they were passing out the societal categories.  Having spent most of my teenage years in the 80's, I'm a little young to be a Baby Boomer.  And, I'm a little old to be a Gen X.    Up until now, I've travelled solo through this society without feeling a part of the moral or the immoral majorities, the hippies, the tech heads, the grungies, ...
