A conversation at work today:

– Dev 1: How did you become interested in Middle Eastern music?
– Helen: I guess I heard a good CD somewhere, and went on from there…
– Dev 2: A CD? That is so 2006.
– Dev 1: 2006? Were you still listening to CDs in 2006?

See what having a family does to you… our age difference is about 4 years but it sometimes feels like a whole generation. They can sit attached to their computers by a headphone cord all evening, while I am walking around the house all the time. And even when I’m not, I wouldn’t want to be cut off from Eric and Ingrid by a pair of headphones.
