 I've been so scatter-brained in here recently-- not finishing blogs that I start and then starting others that I don't finish. I really have to step back, exhale and focus on them for completion. Unfinished business bugs me. It eats away, like a microscopic worm. Anyway, once again I've been going through old files and I came across this old audio cassette excerpt. It was from 1989 or 1990 on one of our many juvenile camping trips to Maine or New Hampshire. It's me and my brother, up late, really late still drinking (you can hear birds chirping) despite the pleas from Sue and Mark Fitzgerald for us to call it a night. And then Dano starts to snore. On a personal level it's funny to me and it brings back a host of memories from those by-gone days. Sue has since passed away, either last year or the year before. I listened to the recording over and over and was amazed by how young and carefree we were-- I could hear it in our voices. So for kicks and giggles I went through some old camping pictures from that time period and threw them together on the audio track and this is what I got. Two of the pictures, the ones with Sue were not camping related but were from a time visiting my grandmother-- the camping pictures with Sue are buried in a box, unscanned. Well, hello there cyber emptiness... it's just me wandering through the past again....
