By way of introduction............

Remember the idea that we would not trust anyone over thirty? Well, I'm way over 30 now! My memories, some of them, the ones I can remember, are over 50 years old! It's called perspective; it's also called getting old, isn't it? Anyway, this space will most often be used to take a look back at former times - not just mine - to give some thought to the way things were or might have been. We're already on the journey of half a century...longer than lifespans amounted to just fifty years before mid-century, when I was born. I read somewhere a few years ago that knowledge from the beginning of time until 1950 had expanded some 250 times, then had doubled again by 1980 and doubled again by 2005. What a mind bender as we used to say in the long-gone (thankfully) 1960's! So...share your thoughts along these lines.

Ken, the pundits say that "50 is the new 30," so we have the advantage both of being "young" as well as having memories going back quite a while. The best of both worlds.
