Maybe it's the nostalgia I feel watching "Stranger Things- 3".  Maybe it's the fact that everyone I speak with makes me feel like a pariah, like a leper, like some reeking wild man that has come down from the mountains after years and years living in total isolation, because I simply eschew the pernicious convenience of owning a cell phone.  Maybe it's the fact that I'm nearing the half a century mark and feeling it... feeling my age.  Whatever the reason, I find myself yearning, more and more, for the 1980's: simpler times, dare I say it?... better times.

Maybe I should fall in line, and "get with the program."

Fuck that.
