Oh Canada....Retro Dad.

Long weekend for all, so taking the twins up the road to New Brunswick. Reversing Falls in St. Johns, St. Stevens chocolate factory. Last time here they were infants---now at university, and boy are they noticing the interesting little differences betweeen home and our nearest neighboring country. Street signage, time zone, money, accents, and so on. Among the sweetest everyday people you'd meet anywhere as well. But clash of technology in the car, where I've been roundly ridiculed for having a car radio with BOTH CD and casette players, but none of the more modern junk, like MP3 whatever. Until, that is, when I popped in a 120 minute audio casette of the best cuts from half a dozen CD's of an early '90's Grunge band that I recorded this week. "Hey, we know that cool music---it's Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. How'd you get that stuff to play in the car, Dad?" But they like my vinyl set up at home. Aa.
