I have a little tradition around this time each year.  You see, this time every year, Beloit College comes out with The Beloit Mindset List.  It’s a list of events and common experiences, etc. shared by the incoming freshman class - this year they’re the class of 2011.  So, I read The Mindset List… and then I spend the rest of the day feeling really, really old.  Anyway, they just released this year’s list… and I just sat around feeling old.  So I thought you might also enjoy the experience of rolling your eyes, heaving sighs and making remarks about "those whippersnappers" who have no idea how good they have it.

And hey… if you feel like commiserating… leave a comment here about the item on the list that most appalled you.  Or, if you happen to be one of those whippersnappers, you can leave a comment telling us how old we are or how you read about that Berlin Wall thing in a history book one time.

And then we’ll all beat you soundly with our walkers.
