Generational Shift


I saw this card stuffed in the Oktoberfest beer stein, which is large enough to hold a six pack of beer in one glass, but for us is a storage unit filled with things too important to throw away, but little used currently.

My Montgomery County Library Card - for years an endless source of pleasure.

But I got a Kindle for Christmas - generational shift. I had finished a book on the train on the way home and at one of the above ground stations, downloaded the next book club book and started reading without even getting up from my bench. No waiting for the library to open. Instant gratification for a reader. Amazing invention!
