New family blog

Jason and I have been debating whether to share our family adventures cave-art style (pictures on the digital wall) or with text. Jason is reading a New Yorker article that points out that there have been only 200 generations of people since writing was invented, while there were more than 1200 between the beginning of cave art and the invention of writing. Do we need to make up for lost textual time? Or are we complicating a good thing? After visiting the cave paintings in Lascaux, Picasso said, "They've invented everything." And I thought the 5th century BCE was the golden age.
