Forgetting Someone

Forgetting someone is like forgetting to turn off the light in the backyard so it stays lit all the next day
But then it is the light that makes you remember.

Where has the time gone?

So, this weekend I happened to catch Young Einstein on TV. I hadn't planned on watching this show really, I was just just turning the TV on for some background noise while I did a few things around the house, BUT I just could not help myself. It was a favorite movie of mine when I was a teenager. It brought back a lot of memories of my old friends. Luci and Cari in particular. It's so funny how time works. It really doesn't seem like it's been almost 18 years since we graduated from high school! Where has the time gone? I still feel like I did when I was 17 years old in some ways. Although I can tell that I'm aging. It creeps up on you though, you know. It's little things too, stuff like not rembering a persons name or you hear the a song you used to sing all of the time and you can't rember the name of the band. (Guns and Roses! ya, that's it!). Or a gray hair and inch long shining like a beacon in the bathroom mirror! (don't look for it, it's been plucked!) So as I was watching Young Einstein, I was thinking, "hmmm, I wonder what Yahoo is up to now?" I came into work this morning and the first thing I did was google him. You know what I found out? Time does not stand still. Check out the pictures, it shows the difference 20 years can make.
