I was speaking with one of my Spanish tutors, Micaela, this morning. Mica lives in a small jungle town in Ecuador, but she has a good internet connection. She is around 30 and an excellent conversationalist. We been working together for more than 2 years and have a friendly relationship. For my part, I always enjoy our hour together every couple weeks, and she seems to do so also.
I sent her a few pictures of Cannon Beach in Oregon, then asked her is she remembered the movie Goonies, it being an extremely popular movie in its day, and having scenes in the movie set at Cannon Beach. Even though American movies and television programs are very popular there, she did not remember this movie .
I sent her a link to the IMDB page for Goonies. After looking at the page, she said, “Oh that movie was made in 1985 – before I was born!”
Grumble, grumble, gripe, gripe… got to love this getting old…the human race marches on.
