As a Generation X-er, I feel kind of shocked and sad, but I’m not exactly sure.

Second City's Generation Gap So Perfectly Gets It Right

Last night, I saw Second City's show "Generation Gap…Or, How Many Millennials Does It Take to Teach a Baby Boomer to Text Generation X?" at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and I was laughing along with the entire audience of GenXers, Baby Boomers, Millennials, and even a few Generation Z's (who probably thought we were all nuts). The cast brought many generational differences - and some similarities - to light with so many hilarious skits, but the funniest scenes involv
