Drowning in nostalgia is a sad way to go. The current is swift however, and even though it leads to a watery demise over the cataract between life and death (hmm I JUST NOW realized that cataract has two completely separate meanings!!) I decided I should swim upstream!! So metaphors aside, I took action.

I turned to my son-in-law Joe a music aficionado.

And, he, bless him, sent me the following playlist

I am currently playing it on repeat. I am also forcing myself to refrain from hitting the oldies stations on SiriusXM when I drive. My current go to is a station that declared songs pre-2013 to be vintage.

My sister’s kids, who are in their 20s chimed in with some favorites of theirs. Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers, Billie Eilish among others.

Result of this: nothing concrete yet to report. Except for this one item: I may be in the .000000001% of people my age who have the slightest inkling about boygenius. Progress!
