When the Social Security Administration released this year’s Top 10 names, I wasn’t surprised to see Liam at the top of the boys’ names, again. Both Liam and Olivia have held those top spots for five consecutive years.
I hope I’m not the only one who has done this (more than once). You’re coming out from someplace (a store, the gym) to a lot where you parked your black/dark gray SUV. You don’t recall exactly where you parked (whatever happened to those posted letters that showed which row you parked on?) But onward you go to your car, grab the door handle, and realize it’s not your car.
Do you remember dropping a quarter into the machine and you and your friends cramming into one of these photobooths? Do you still have those photo strips hanging around in a box in the basement? Or perhaps you were at a holiday party recently where they had a “photo booth” where you donned props, and the results were sent right to your Facebook or email?
As a Boomer, you may have been up close and personal with VHS systems, including those huge/heavy recorders that sat on your shoulder to take video of your child’s first birthday. And where are all those VHS tapes now? In the garage, in the basement, taped over with a favorite TV show?
