The day I moved my son to College brought back a ton of memories. 

It reminded me of my first day at the University of Southern California.

That was in the early 80's. What a difference 4 decades can make. 

I moved in an era of no cell phones, no internet or digital footprint.

He moved into a preordained existence of shangrila.

He and his roomate had facetimed and picked out shower curtains and towels.

What? 

I moved into a smog ridden war zone of crime and hobos begging for money. 

This is a story of two generations moving to college.
