As time goes by and age creeps up ever so quickly, I often reflect on years gone by. We don’t think much of the future when we’re children but now as an aging adult I sure do think often of my youth.

Times of Change
I’m a Generation X. I don’t know what that means really but I do know that each generation is a little bit different. My generation, I feel, was unique.

First, if I take the time to ask you the time, do you have the time to tell me. Isn’t that what life is, a journey of time. When we stop andContinue reading “Do You Have The Time”
Strange Days
I remember laying on my living room floor in 1986 thinking, how old will I be in the year 2000? And now it’s 2024. Time has flown by. I’m now in my 50’s and I have seen and experienced things I never would have dreamed of way back in 1986 let alone in 2000. AndContinue reading “Strange Days”
