Is that a good read?
Older people always want to pretend that "things aren't what they used to be." Things change form more than they change altogether. I even find myself telling undergrads and much younger people how things were "when I was their age." It makes me feel important, experienced, and like they should defer to me mostly for absofreakinlutely no reason.
