• Dmitry is certainly a child of this media age.

  Tonight after I collected him at Carolyn’s, within literally (I checked the clock) three minutes of pulling away from her house, he had the earbuds to his iPod Shuffle in his ears, listening to the songs Carolyn’s sister, Kim, had downloaded for him, while texting Carolyn herself on his cell phone.

  Gee, but it’s nice to have company in the car when one’s driving. 

  When I pointed out that he’d just seen her for eight solid hours, for crying out loud, he earnestly protested that he’d hardly had any chance to talk with her, what with the pool party, and going out for hamburgers and to Blockbuster, and watching a movie.
