Let's stay away from the topics that approach politics. Thanks.

A good friend once told me the real tragedy in life is the child that dies in a man as he grows older. HHP's quote below ties in nicely with what happens to those who let the child within them die. So SpiderT, I believe things may go south with how we choose view the world, and I am fortunate to have been surrounded by those who have provided me an example of how to live. My 98 year old Aunt just recently passed. Up until her last 3.5 months of her life, (she suffered a stroke) she was independent, lived in her own home, drove her own car, taught tai chai weekly at the senior center. even went hiking, up to 2.5 miles a day, in France two years ago, always took an annual two week trip, Europe, Asia, South America, Western U.S. where she hiked despite having two hip and two knee replacements. She was an avid reader, questioned and learned about new ideas and technology, bought a new Mac and iPad to learn and explore, cared for the elderly (who were younger than her), hosted weekly teas for her friends and loved to laugh. She told me repeatedly to enjoy this time and life, and make sure to never let the grass grow between my toes. ...........I should be so lucky!

I believe that much of what is involved in nostalgia for the "good old days", and believing that things were so much better "back in the day" are really driven by the fact that now, we know how those days turned out. We don't know what the future holds. For some, there is a certain level of uneasiness about that, where there is comfort in knowing that things turned out OK in the "good old days".
There is a saying that "today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday, now you know why". Some look at the present and future with a certain amount of fear and trepidation, while others are comfortable with not knowing what is coming around the corner. some folks fear change, while others embrace it.

On Monday, I will be picking up my 1917 Martin 0-18. It has been in the shop for a neck reset. One thing Marty Reynolds does with these old Martins is make sure the neck reset does not result in that hump where the neck joins the body (the 12th fret on my guitar). Sometime in 1917, Martin switched from using Brazilian rosewood for the back and sides, to mahogany on the 0-18. Mine was made just before that change, so it has that old, straight-grained Brazilian.
From what I understand, life was much more difficult on a day-to-day basis back then, so I doubt it really was the "good old days" compared to what my life is today, except to those who were alive during that time and old enough to remember those days well, while being concerned/afraid of the changes happening. WWI was the big event of the day, which was particularly devastating for many families. Tony

My father was barely 6 (so 1931) when his appendix burst. He got one of the first doses of the new sulfa drugs that saved his life. Before that an appendix rupture was a death sentence. Hardly "good old days" there.
These are the "good old days" people will talk about in the future.
