So I assume I'm in what is called the 2nd wave. I don't know exactly why the waves don't mesh? Maybe it's the same time immemorial problem of mothers and daughters and the need to be new, modern, and different, in one's own right? Perhaps I'm at that solitary witch or warrior, crone, state where the young can no longer relate to my experience of the 60's and 70's? I thought I would be forever young and my ideas would never be old and out of date. Somehow around here especially, I have been left behind. I'm just no longer cool enough to fit into the mean girl's cliques(which they deny exists)so I just come off as a wackadoodle old bat. Oh, well. I do what I can by myself.
