It's a Boomer Thing

When my son comes in from College Park, he takes the train.

Most of the time, he takes the Camden Line, and I pick him up at the Camden Yards stop at 8:00 pm, and occasionally, he comes in at Penn Station at 8:30.

Today, I texted him, and wrote, "Charlie. What bat time and what bat station tonight?" (I know, the quote is channel, not station.)

Sharon* found it quite funny,

Charlie did not react at all, though he called me later at he would be coming in on the Camden line, so I picked him up.  (Orioles game, they just cinched the division, in the future, he takes the earlier stop when the Birds play at home)

When I picked him up, he kind of wondered what this all about.  He had heard the expression before, but had no clue what it meant.

Generation, gap, huh.
