Unboxing my old boxes and I found my French language thesaurus.

It dates back to when I was in 5th grade (primary education).

Je suis en train de défaire mes vieilles boites et j'ai trouvé mon dictionnaire des synonymes de langue française

Il remonte au temps que j'étais en 5e année du primaire.

My eldest (age 8) is really enjoying the 1991 TV series of Where's Wally!

We have 3 of the books and I started singing the theme tune at some point - and then found this handy video I could share to YouTube Kids: https://youtu.be/BiXrDQsK24k

Eldest is finding it very funny and entertaining. The show is 35 years old. When I was myself nearly 8 in 1991, I wonder what 35 year old kids TV shows I was watching.

Both kids also enjoy Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, 70+ years old!

A few weeks ago, I got to talking about Magic: The Gathering with young friends who play now. I casually mentioned I had a Black Lotus (and other old cards). After bringing it to show them, I finally bit the bullet and sold that and several others (like Mox, and the time cards). I still have to sell the rest of the collection, but I'm happy these cards are going to folks who will love them like we did thirty years ago.

Since a few months (years?), some mail clients allow users to react to emails: this is what it looks like in my mailbox when someone likes an email...

Remember sitting on the floor in your living room as your parents watched George and Mildred, thinking 'this is SO OLD WHY ARE THEY WATCHING THIS?'

Friends is Gen Z's George and Mildred.

I used to be able to swipe up from the bottom right corner of my phone to open all my apps that I don't have saved to my home page.. but that seems to have gone away with the latest update, and now I can't find where to get to my apps.

@cynder_coyote Heck, Windows 7 and the Playstation 3 are retro now. #IFeelOld

The students were hesitant to leave as I told them to go.
Now I realize why. I dismissed them an hour early.

Today I finally got around to doing some mending I’ve been meaning to do. I had to sew a button back on a shirt and secure the handle on a fabric bag.

Wanna feel old? Try threading a needle. 🪡

Today while teaching I officially entered the phase of life where my kids and my students use the same vocabulary. Not sure whether to be proud or alarmed.

Can anyone explain the concept of #WeedDad to me?
Is it disparaging? Endearing? Problematic?

Yesterday, a 40-year-old friend asked, “So email was kind of the precursor to texting?”

Um, kind of. #IFeelOld
