Yeah, you're right. But I can still be cynical if I really want to!

"Judah" At some point in relatively recent

take for granted were Magic...

The Light Bulb
The Telephone
The Car

Christmas

That's just life...

I think for most people nowadays, there isn't much Magic. Nowadays
it's always about money. There isn't even much visionary Sci-Fi to
lead us to our next dream... We've even got the Cell-Phone as a Star
Trek Communicator...

...ut that's overly cynical

At least for most people, anyway. I still enjoy the magic of flying...
And even some other things... Although I have become something of a
pragmatist - or maybe even a cyncic. (Could you tell?)

I enjoy it too... and I think you are just getting older. I know that
for sure.

I watched "Master and Commander" the other night and fantasized about
how magical sailing and sailing ships must have been in previous
centuries. Sort of like space flight in the last one. The magic of
open ocean sailing is still there but so is thousands of other
pursuits. We just have some many damn options available to so damn
many people. It's great! .
