But they also love their Sports Illustrated for Kids and Young Rider magazines, and read a lot of books. The right information and entertainment, married to the right format (whether electronic or print), remains the key, to my mind.

When I was writing this, I was thinking of you and wondering if Samir is Churchill, who would you be? Thanks for jumping in, Bo(b).

But they are getting older and more mature. They are not as flexible as the younger generation, nor as lively. They will tell you some wonderful stories, but none of them happened today or even yesterday. Most of the stories either have no lime line or at best happened 21 days ago. So I am not ready to throw out gramps ‘cause he has many productive years ahead of him and he has lots and lots of friends. But the young kids in the family now are starting to tell their own stories too. And those stories are fresh, filled with currency and they actually seem to move. Sometimes I even think I can “hear” them. I say there is plenty of room for my grandparents and my kids and my grandchildren. But at the end of the day, or in this case at the end of the decade it will be the grandkids that will inherit the most of the earth. Great post Rex…. and no magazines aren’t dead or dying.
