I'm Still Rewinding!

I'd make ya a mix tape, Friend!

Friends, your antiquated technology fascinates me to no end.  I've been thinking a lot about your VCRs and rewindings and such, and I delved into the world of the Mix Tape.

Whenever I mention "mix tape" to adults of a certain age, they always smile and start going on and on about sitting at the radio with their fingers poised over the "record" button so that when their favorite songs came on, they could record them and then exchange mix tapes with their friends. 

Did you participate in this ritual, Friend?  Do you have a boxa mix tapes up in your attic, too?  My Mommy does!

I had to really think hard on what would be the modern-day equivalent of a mix tape, and the best I could come up with is a playlist.  But here's where I realize that maybe your technology was better than the technology of my day.  Giving your friend a playlist isn't as neat as handing over an actual tape of songs you recorded just for them from your favorite radio station.  So.  Well-played this hand, Big People.  Well played this go-around.

Hey, I'll see ya tomorrow, Friends!  I love ya lots!  Muah!
