Thursday Flashbacks
You know how they say you’re only as old as you feel? Well, I’m feeling about 120 years old today, so I thought I’d treat myself, and anyone feeling as I do, to these flashes from the past… 😉

Love. It transcends age, distance and time. It is what connects the human spirit to the world around us and to each other. It is the ebb and flow between two souls, a continual conversation that requires no words. It is the beauty that resonates long after the skin has faded and our bodies have grown soft.

We all have… “things” in our past that we’re not exactly proud of, right? Well I’ve just finished watching an episode of Louie that reminded me of one such thing from my past. It happened during one of the many, MANY, very lonely “dry spells” of my youth. I was working part-time at one of…
After a couple weeks of back and shoulder pain so bad that I didn’t EVEN feel like dealing with this stupid PC, I’m finally feeling good enough to post two great videos my friend Rosie shared with me on Facebook. I hope you like them as much as I do! 😀 The first one is…
I’ve been fascinated by red hair for as long as I can remember. I think it has something to do with the “Red” nickname I was stuck with as a very young boy. I’m not sure, exactly, why I was called that, as advanced middle age and many years of brain cell killing activities have…
