Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

My uncle has my old AOL email address. Whenever my dad sends things to both of us, it's disconcerting to see it.

My grandparents never had computers, and for most of them, electricity was a new-fangled luxury.
I spent a lot of time on the Internets in the mid-90s. On, you know, boards. That I could telnet to. When I ran out of single line ones to dial up for the night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was all over everything in the late 90s. Compuserve, AOL, Delphi, and various FIDONet boards. Just in case, you know.

My grandfather was a telegraph operator.
My grandfather worked his way through normal school by selling stereoscopes door to door.
Aims, I was part of a big office move that went off well. My role was putting together a brochure about the new building for employees, including information about break areas, fire exits, parking, coffee and the like. It seemed to be helpful to people to have all that information in one place. It also forced the building manager to come up with policies, instead of his usual "because I said so."

I'm half watching a movie with Mark Wahlberg playing a rocker dude/star. I started thinking he actually sounds pretty good and wondered if he did his own singing. Der. @@ at self.
