WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK. A generation that walked to school and then walked back. A generation that did their homework alone to get out asap to play in the street. A generation that spent all their free time in the streets with their Friends. A generation that played hide and seek when dark. A generation that made mud cakes. A generation that collected sports cards. A generation that found, collected and washed & Returned empty coke bottles to the local grocery store for 5 cents each , then bought a Mountain Dew and candy bar with the money. A generation that made paper toys with their bare hands. A generation who bought vinyl albums to play on record players. A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings of their life experiences as a Kid. A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days. A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem. A generation that had parents who were there. A generation that laughed under the covers in bed so parents didn't know we were still awake. A generation that is passing and unfortunately it will never return no matter how hard we try. I loved Growing up when I did. it was the best of times.

Godinom Marka Marulića
As Croatia Week reports, Year of Marko Marulić, father of Croatian literature, kicks off, as Croatia has proclaimed2024 to be the Year of Marko Marulić, as it's the 500th anniversary of his death. (They also proclaimed 2021 the Year of Marko Marulić; maybe it went so well they were eager to repeat it as soon as possible.)
For more on Marulića, see, for example, the post on Marko Marulić and the Croatian Latin Heritage at the British Library's European studies blog.
