When I was in Jr. High, Atari was cool. Later, hanging out with my friends and making my own money for the first time in my life was cool. Then I got older, and it seems that what's "cool" is always evolving.
I am upstairs in my bedroom, playing on the computer, and the 9 year old is downstairs on the kid computer. She is instant messaging me, asking technical questions and understanding the answers. That's cool.
Kevin bought a used dryer at this used appliance store here in town. It is cheap, but a huge step up for us. He brought it home and hooked it up, and there is a load in there now. That's cool.
My son is at his dad's, learning to parallel park so that he can get his licence soon. That's cool.
My parents take my girls 'most every Saturday night, where they hang out, play and enjoy their company...not to mention giving us a free night. Many grandparents are fine with only seeing their grandkids a couple of times a year...not my folks. That's cool.
I'm gainfully employed, the family is healthy, the kids are smart and well-adjusted, and my marriage is a great one. That's cool.
