Papa le golfeur

J'aime le golf. Sans en être un passioné, je joue régulièrement avec Lise, mon fils Sébastien et parfois avec mes amis Bernard et François. Lise et moi sommes des « Baby Boomer » et nous venons tout juste de prendre notre retraite. J'utilise ces pages pour parler de choses qui me tiennent à coeur et aussi de faits cocasses et événements de tous les jours.

Nous sommes donc la retraite depuis midi le 29 décembre 2006 soit depuis

La guerre des générations

De mon frère Léo :

A very self-important college freshman at a recent USC football game,
took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why
it was impossible for the older generation to understand his own.
"You grew up in a different, actually almost primitive, world," the student
said loud enough for the whole crowd to hear.
"We young people today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars... We even have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing .... and uh......."
Taking advantage of a pause for breath in the student's litany, the
"wizened" one said,
"You're right, Son. We didn't have those things when we were young...
so WE INVENTED them -- you arrogant little shithead!!
Now.... what are YOU doing for the NEXT Generation??"
