A society grows great when old men plant trees
whose shade they know they shall never sit it.
~ Greek Proverb

The other day I was waiting with Cameron and Jenny for a Downton Abbey lecture to start. Jenny said to Cameron, "Did you ever go to school when this was a thing?" and showed him a black and white picture of a young woman. Cameron laughed.
I said, "I think that's me in the picture."
It was a photo of a woman looking through a card catalog drawer.
And I thought, "Wow. She really hasn't ever used a card catalog." And then I thought, "Wow. I hope she was talking about card catalogs and not libraries."
