Blaming the Gap

I never pictured myself as a blogger. In fact, I once told myself I would never succumb to the blogging generation. Yet, here I am typing away on my blog called Nana's Notes for she was the one who inspired me to go ahead and write. Each time she visits, I tend to be using some form of technology: my laptop, my cell phone, my iPod nearby. After witnessing the array of electronics around me, she remarks, "You kids have it made." She has a point. When she was a child in the 1930's and 40's, technology was rare and certainly not as advanced as it is today. Hence, the Generation Gap was born. You know, the 50 year gap that bridges our lives. Nana views life from entirely different angles than I do; technology is just one of the things. Others include eating habits, dating, shopping and story telling. I blame the Gap between us for igniting the spark within me to write this blog in honor, and someday a memoir, of my Nana. Quirky pieces of advice from Nana and the ability to look outside my 21st century perspective: Generation Gap, I not only blame you, I thank you.
