Hello 21st century. It's nice to finally meet you.

I've been known to scowf at technology. I used to think those people with DVD players in their cars were totally absurd and some kind of rapper.

Then I took a road trip with a 20 month old. Those people became technological geniouses.

I spent some time in Scottsdale this week. I'm sad to say, none of it was in a spa. That city is something close to the Beverly Hills of Arizona. It is insane. Yeah, they have three lines for valet parking at the mall. I saw a $120,000 Mercedes and a 19 year old got out of the driver's seat. Then a $250,000 Bentley pull in behind them.

That was before I got into the mall and saw only designer stores that I've seen on Project Runway.

I guess you could say I was forever changed.

Because I came home and entered the rat race we call the 21st century. I bought a new iPod Nano. In blue.

Now I can safely say, "where have you been all my life?" Now I can listen to the BeeGee's, Elton John, Linkin Park, TobyMac and Tenth Avenue North all in the same rotation. Does it get any better than that?
