Friday Photo Flashback

I take you back to September of 1999 today. Knowing what I know now, it can be hard to look back at this day. No one ever gets married thinking that it will end in divorce. Believe it or not, the divorce rate in America has been declining since the 1990's. They used to say … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

Cast the Movie of Your Life

The Word Press App on my phone will offer a daily writing prompt to bloggers. I subscribe to a few "prompt" emails and such, and they can certainly be thought starters.

Senior Cars – Did You Paint Yours?

33 years ago today (June 9, 1988) I walked the stage and was handed my diploma (ok, it was actually the diploma case) at my high school graduation. Exactly 25 years later, I would walk the stage again and receive my college degree in Sleep Medicine. On my way into work tonight, I saw a … Continue reading Senior Cars – Did You Paint Yours? →

Joe … Continue reading Three Birthday Tributes →
