Thank God, as a Gen X-er, I’ve been blessed to know several “Greatest” and “Silent” Generation men.

I was always amazed that they’d say, “I met Mildred at the Sock Hop right before I got shipped off to boot camp. When I got back, we tied the knot. Next year will be our 75th wedding anniversary.” This is kind of hyperbole, but not by much.

I kind of (internally) think they’re internally clueless, naive, unreflective. But I’m also jealous and sad it’s not that anymore, TBH.

What happened?
