Was anyone else aware that today is the 50th anniversary of Woodstock?

Apparently, work didn't forget. Thought it was a good excuse to decorate the building, have people dress up in Woodstock costumes, and basically turn it into a hippie nightmare.

Yes! Sirius has been announcing it every day for weeks.

I don't listen to Sirius. My parents have an account, but I prefer Spotify.

I moved my mom's car a few days ago. My uncle, who's a really big guy, left the seat way back when he dropped my family off at the airport. After I pulled the seat forward to reach the gas petal, I turned on the car, and he had on the Elvis station. And here's the thing, that station plays the WORST Elvis music. Not the good stuff Lilo and Stitch uses, but like, ugh. So I found a station I thought he would really, really hate. I tried to find a classical music station, but couldn't find one, so I found a pop station. Now when he gets in, instead of Elvis, he'll hear that.

Also, I'm really, really terrible.

Just added Sunday night to our reservation at Universal Cabana Bay. $123 for Sunday night in a poolview suite. That is a passholder rate. They have Passholder appreciation days going on right now. So a week hotel stay for us in under $1000. That is just amazing.

Umm no.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Umm no.

I texted my mom about it. She didn't know either. There's a dude in tie dye and an afro wig. I'm borderline terrified, my dad says it's what the sixties were like.

I was not born in the 60’s. I managed to skirt that decade by 6 months.

My dad was born in 1960. I told my mom I now feel sorry for him having to grow up in that decade with all the questionable fashion choices.

This Woodstock thing has some silver linings.

I was coming of age and if I hadn't been in the service in Vietnam at the time, I would have attended. The 60's were a turbulent time, but honestly, we still continue to be. In some ways it feels worse because I thought we had learned something, but we have not. As far as questionable fashion choices let me be one of the first to tell you that 50 years from now you will be looking at pictures of yourself and wondering how you were ever foolish enough to go out looking like that. Nothing really ever changes... only attitudes about them.

One of my brothers went to Woodstock -- he still has his ticket stub! (And if you're at all interested about it, both PBS and CNN have been airing specials on it this past week. Haven't seen the CNN one, but PBS's documentary is excellent. There was a lot of great musical performers.)

Probably not as much just because my choice in clothes is just very classic, and I don't do extreme hairstyles or anything. I remember when ponchos were the rage in the early 00s. My mom said they were cute I thought they were hideous. Over ten years later, the world agrees with me. I could easily pass with my wardrobe in the 90s, 00s, or today. I do get your point. I mean, I look back at photos of my mom in the 80s and go, "Good grief, what were you thinking?"

Edit: the exception being the 40s. I watch Indiana Jones and go, "Wow, they knew how to dress back then."

Well, 50 years from now I will not be around to find out... however, that said, you can remind yourself at that time that a very smart senior citizen is saying "I told ya so" from the beyond.

Forgot to upload some nice shots I took of Hershey when we were up in the Kiss Tower.

And my girls set up their American Girl bunkbed for the kittens.

I dress the same way. My mom taught me to always go with classic looks. I am not responsible for the bell bottoms I wore in the 70’s. Hated them then, hate them now. I agree with the fashion in the 40’s. Love how they dressed.
