My Gen X Life
Kinsale, Ireland
Here in the middle of all the wonderful and horrible ruckus in our universe is Gen X, former latch-key kids who watched Scooby-Doo and played tag regularly. We had 2 technology electives at Creston High during the early ’80s-“Computers” and “Word-Processing”. College was a smart option to leverage your prospects, but there were also plenty of decent-paying jobs for those of us who wanted to move out after graduation. I’ve seen our Casey Kasem-Top 40-mixtape world entirely change during my 51 years. Once in a while I am nostalgic for a John Hughes movie, but the truth is I love my mod cons. Except my Kindle (no page-turning, no smell). I spend most of my time here in the gap between a simpler existence and massive waves of new information to sift and sort. XER is about what I fill the gap with in this middle-child kind of life-travel, food, joy, healthy tips/recipes, nature, good books, and writing.
