I expect every photo that i see of Chris and Alexa to look like something that i'd find in my grandmother's photo album circa early 1970s. I imagine them stuck back in my childhood. What a thrill it is to see color photos of the kids!
There are computers, and (many) other things that make it obvious that it isn't 1970 in the Philippines. Still, I always had the feeling that i'd found the place that the early 70s went to retire after it left America. In a lot of ways, that feeling was enjoyable. If you are in a constant state of deja vu, it opens up all kinds of psychic wormholes that are quite fun.
As much fun as it was for me to spend 4 years back in a 70s-like-trip, it is time to get the kids into a time machine and into at least 2008. We can always wink at each other about what it was like to grow up back in the day.
I'm goin' so fast that I can't slow down
It's hard to get up when you're spinnin' round and round
I'd give you the news but nothin's changed
I'd sing you a song but they blew it away
All wrapped up in this stupid ass game
