Ten things my children will never experience
It’s Christmas Eve and I’ve been wide awake since early this a.m. No, it’s not due to excitement but rather anxiety about the day, visitors coming, etc. Plus I get a rare opportunity to just sit down in complete quiet without interruption and sip my coffee without any little ones crowding my lap 
During the night I had an idea. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about my childhood in the 70s and 80s and the fact that so many of the things I experienced, my children probably won’t have a clue about. Maybe all they will know of some of these things is what they might one day see in a museum somewhere. My idea was that I should try to come up with a list of 10 examples of this. Here goes:
1. 8-track tapes
2. LPs
3. CB radio
4. Polyester leisure suits
5. Super 8 mm. movies
6. Carbon copies
7. Typewriters
8. Clip on ties
9. Pet rocks
10. Mood rings
