people don't want to let me be a gen xer. but, it's kind of not fair to give gen x 15 years and every other generation 20-25; gen x should really be more like 1965-1985. as it is, you usually get 65-80, so i'm stuck at the edge - thirteen days into january, 1981.

and i sort of like being the last one, ever, which is kind of intrinsically gen x, itself.

but, look at this:

that is a picture of me on the right with the hat turned up a little to see the hair. and what is that around my neck?

it's a latch-key.
