Today was my parents wedding anniversary.
I called my dad to see what he was up to today, and, he had several things to do. He sounded really upbeat, so, I didn’t say anything.

Despite the backlash of naming generations, I enjoyed Penelope Trunk’s post at Brazen Careerist, What generation are you part of, really? Take this test.
