aw, i love your posts. i hope you are just feeling meh today and will feel a creative wind rush in soon.

Yeah my poor newbie was very quickly schooled.

There is also a dissonance, they don't realize how old I am, and I work to keep it that way. Not that I hide my age, I simply dress differently and interact with them differently then I do most peers. Though I did throw out a reference to The Great Space Coaster this week, and realized no one should get it even if they are the right age.
