Quinceañera

People having birthdays always reminds me of the passing of time. As my friends get older, my generation gets older and little tidbits of common knowledge slowly pass into oblivion. A thousand years after we all expire, “May the force be with you”, Jackie Robinson and my mom singing “Las mañanitas” on my birthday when I was a kid will be forgotten by both humans and their evil robot overlords. The same fate awaits, “Where’s the Beef”, the San Francisco Giants
and Stand by R.E.M.

Could be worse.
