Vinyl records to tapes–tapes to CD’s–I’m trying to keep up. My very vocal resistance to the computer has turned into an unhealthy obsession. I can no longer live without my wireless phone; I even text on a regular basis… Because the hand-writing is on the wall, I’m reluctantly replacing my video collection with DVD’s–just in time for the DVD’s to be out-dated by Blue Ray; and because we had to, we made the switch from analog to digital and one step further–to high-def. Sigh.
For a resistant matron, I thought I was doing fairly well. But I’m having a bit of trouble getting used to orange and green Peeps! When they began making Starburst Fruit Chew jelly beans, I thought that was an improvement. But orange Peeps? Pink I could handle…being a “cottage” gal and all… Even the light green is sorta seasonal… Tell me, do they taste like orange marshmallow? That might be interesting. I think I’m getting too old for this.
