Let’s play.

It requires a little math today.

But it’s old math, so we’re good.

19 out of 20 for me… because as hard as it is to believe, I’ve never been to a drive in movie. They were pretty much a dead thing by the time I started dating.

I have to laugh at being a boomer though because to this day, I still…

Listen to music on a record player,

Have photo albums filled with prints.

Pay for something with exact change.

Use a library card regularly.

Have a favorite radio station ( though admittedly it’s on satellite)

Watch the news at the same time every day.

Use a checkbook register.

And own both a cassette and 8 track player.

Once a boomer, always a boomer.

😊

Now you.

How many of these things have you done?

  3. 20 for me, too!!
    No drive-ins? I last went to one in the early/mid 80s. It was a multiplex of 8 or more screens. You could see other movies but not hear them.. till drive-ins changed to using car radio channels.
    … which reminded me, I went to a popup drive-in at a local parking lot sometime before covid. They had food trucks and roller-skating delivery girls. I wore pjs and sat outside my car, like I did as a kid, till it got too cold.

    1. Jersey had a lot of them but I moved to an island in Maine when I was 15, and at that point I think there was only one left in the state. Just never got around to it I guess.

  4. 16 – Maybe because I’ve only been up for 15 minutes but I’m having problems with the wording of #7 ; I don’t know what #15 means, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a drive-in movie but something about that strikes a chord and No, I’ve never watched the news at the same time every day. Honestly, I’ve only ever watched the news when something catastrophic happened. For years I kept the tv on a rolling cart in a closet and just dragged it out on the rare occasions there was something I wanted to watch.

    1. #7 is the old black carbon paper you stuck in between sheets of paper on the typewriter to make a copy. What a mess that was.
      #15 was the busy signal on a phone call. I hated that sound.

  6. A solid 20 for me. My first movie was seen at a drive-in theater. “The Little Big Horn!” What an introduction to the film world!!!! I can still see those horrible scenes!

  8. 20 points it is! How have you never had the exciting experience of going to a drive in theater? My parents would take my brother and I as kids. They would pack up our station wagon with sleeping bags, homemade burgers wrapped in foil, bags of chips and Coca-cola in glass bottles. It’s a memory I cherish of being able to have gone to a drive in with my parents and as a teenager as well with my friends.

    1. That sounds like fun.
      My parents went to the city to see plays on Broadway, but I don’t remember them ever going to a movie. Odd, now that I think about it. But they didn’t watch tv either, so I guess it was normal for them.
