Response to Melissa Dawson's News Post

Melissa makes a great point about our parents watching the news when they got home from work. Those were the days. The Baby Boomers and Gen X'ers may be the last generation that really came home to watch the news. I recall growing up in LA, my dad and I would get home from hockey practice, mom would have dinner, the news would be on, we'd watch some stories...usually California Wild Fires, we would wash up, home work, then bed.



The news used to be the staple of American families source of news. I dont think I know a single person that has the joy of living that 9-5 schedule and coming home to a family and a home cooked meal while the news airs in the background. We are constantly changing and adapting to new technologies and getting rid of what now seems a burden...the evening news.
