ME!
Well I have heard from so many people who loved the movie Bridesmaids so I have come to the conclusion it was just me. Fortunately my dinosaur status is transient and it is a state I fight.
I generally try to keep an open mind because change is constant and I don’t want to be left behind. Every time a thought breezes through about modern fashion or art or entertainment I look for the good, the appeal to the masses. What do they see, perceive and enjoy? Often I actually have the chance to grow just a little bit more!
Of course there are core values I won’t budge on but keeping an open mind is important. So I may see the movie again (when it comes out on TV). My opinion may not change but then again it just might!
A friend reminded me of a conversation she and I had a few years ago when I told her G1 said at age four he was going to be a paleontologist when he grew up and thought I could be his assistant. My friend Ros promptly responded that it would be appropriate because then he truly would be working with a dinosaur!
Quite funny… Don’t we all have little dinosaurs in us somewhere? I don’t think I’ve seen that one yet. 🙂
Yes Liz my dinosaur seems to be a little too Jurassic Parkish..I so want to keep an open mind. But actually come to think of it I don’t think I liked potty humor even when I was young….er
Great post Chris. I haven’t seen Bridesmaids and have had mixed comments from friends who have. So I too will wait for it to come on TV.
At least seeing it on TV is relatively cost free so we don’t feel like we have wasted the dollars!
Totally delightful, Chris. We who are of more senior years have a big job in front of us. Our parents used to grumble or an annual or bi-annual change. Look at the the rate of change we see every day!
Hopefully those younger than us will be used to ever-churning change.
I agree – we do have to stand back and observe while holding the bundles of things we know we need to present. Therein lies the challenge…which are they?
The rate of change is amazing although maybe that is what our folks thought also!
