A simpler path
I have been very lucky. After watching a movie that used war as part of the plot line, it was a trigger for some reflection. As in, where I was at the age where too many have been thrown into the lion’s den.
My path was much different. At the age of 24, I was in the classroom. Not as a student (although anyone in a classroom will learn something). I was one echelon older than those around me, and we all wore the same sneakers. No generation gap. In another country, I would have been handed a gun and enough exposure to SNAFU to make a real mess out of my life.
Not my intention to post a timeline here. From that year on, I managed to “keep out of trouble”, earning enough money to provide simple comforts. Never had to accept less than that. Never had to get up in the morning with fear instead of coffee. My kids are on a similar course (I think). No foreign war in view, and enough detachment from the ugly side of life to look forward to the next day. They may ask for more, but that’s human nature. Heck, even the dog will look forward to sharing something extra.
Trying to get my head around what I can and can’t do with iOS. Not as versatile as my other machines (although prettier). I actually managed a short FTP session, although I haven’t figured out how to get to my file store. Is there an app for that? Probably. A different way of handling the utilitarian.
