Generational Gap

I’ve seen a disproportionate number of middle-aged persons on campus this weekend.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have anything against the older generation. I just don’t see them that much in Bloomington.
We’re a college town, remember?
Apparently, the influx of people over 40 is a result of an IU initiative: Parent’s weekend.
That explains it.
To be honest, I love when the university tries to organize such events. Nothing is quite so endearing.
While attempting to bridge the generational gap, such efforts tend to emphasize how big the difference really is. And it brings a lot of smiles and giggles.
