Progress can be a two edged sword. Yes we can replay our cherished dreams and memories in a digital world but there was nothing quite like the threat of slappy sounds with empty views to make us listen and rememberevents as they ocurred in real time.

We used to hit repeat in Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure when the truck driver's eye balls pop outward....progress sometimes is not progress....have a great weekend Karen. :-)
