The truth about the babyboomers: you can't assess a life, or a generation, until they're done. and the particular pack of babyboomers I once envied is now broken, mostly through alcohol and lack of direction. they have lost jobs, houses, kids. a couple - K & J - escaped to the rainforest.

and the whole babyboomer thing. is it right to call my annoyance at having to define myself as not one of them Derridean? that I want to step outside their framework altogether?
