Here's this week's Tuesday Too:

1. Is there something you find fascinating/interesting that you'd like to share (oh so 70's)?

I overheard someone say that what's wrong with the younger generation today is that kids today feel like they have an entitlement to do things. An entitlement to do what? Stay up late? Eat junk food? Watch television all day while their parents work? Or is it something more insidious?

I'm sure some kids are spoiled, but that makes them no different than kids who were spoiled, say thirty years ago. Styles and culture may change, but kids are always the same. I don't doubt that the adults during our parents' childhoods were also saying that the younger generation was going down the tubes because all of them felt like they had an entitlement to do something.

Oh yes, and I found this: Calculating Doomsday. It's not as morbid as you think.

2. What's your latest accomplishment/achievement? I know, I know you got up this morning, but what else?

I wrote some more of my novel. I'm beginning to get bored of the plot, I'm behind the progress that I had made last year, and I just got a new idea for another story about whiskey and grouse. But hey, I'm still plugging along and that's all that counts.

3. What do you see yourself doing 10 years from now?

I hope I'm still not a grad student.
