I can’t believe it. I have an iPod. Me, with an iPod. I may be late to the party, but I am sure happy to have been invited. Ever since I got a pair of parachute pants in junior high on the tail end of them going out of style, I’ve been late with the trends. This one has been well worth the wait. You see my ultra-generous brother gave me one as a gift for my birthday. Whenever he would come to visit, I would disappear with his and listen to some of the old music we grew up listening to. So he bought it, loaded it up with the same music that is on his, threw in a couple of iPod extras and brought me into the 21st century. It did not take me long to fall in love with this little gadget.

My boys love it too. Since my brother is a move soundtrack fan, he programmed quite a few on my iPod. Including the music to Spiderman, Superman and Batman. Well what more could two little boys want? There is plenty of Disney music on there as well. So every night at bedtime, I put the iPod in their room, and start with the Disney tunes. If they are still awake when the princesses are done singing, we graduate to the superhero tunes.They also enjoy the music to Jaws. Although they have never seen the movie, they know that that famous John Williams piece is all about a shark. And that’s good enough for them. My husband is enjoying his iPod moments as well. Since he is a huge James Bond fan, he can’t get enough of the James Bond movie themes that my brother programmed. We are also set whenever we need an eighties music fix. It’s not like I can hear The Safety Dance everyday. Oh wait, I actually can now! Ahhh…the beauty of an iPod. Now if I could just get some cable, I’d really feel like one of those Disney song titles, “Part of Your World!”
