ok, i'll stop until joe catches up, because i really do what to hear what he has to add and no i do not remember risking life and limb in an electrified swimming pool......but, i also donot have a hard time believing it.......how did we survive..........
glad edits are up to snuff, current PG rating stays in place
it's funny how i can recall some things and others are blurs. most of all i remember places events and not people. my visual (mind's eye) holds on to the 'constants', the non-moving, non-interacting things very well..........people and the emotions that come with them don't stick as well. i think all my moving around and poor role models showing how relationships work left a mark that only now i am willing to explore and admit how it shaped my decisions in life (good and bad).
i can remember golf courses i've played only once 10 years ago but can not remember but a handful of people from college or high school. those that i remember are those that took a piece of my soul, caused a lasting memory and not the ones that were just passing thru. joe and hank are the longest lasting friends i have. what we did together left a mark on my soul and the places and events that we shared are burned into me (5th grade is to long ago, but i remember going to the graveyard up the road from my grandparents house at midnight one summer night long ago)
only a few others have stuck in my mind (and hopefully i can track them down some day and reminisce with them as well).
10 out the last 13 years my brothers and i have traveled to SF to play golf and have a mini family reunion, so my memories of SF are to overlapped to remember 1973. doug is in florida or texas and alan i is atlanta. we only see each other once a year and we make golf the excuse. wives and kids are not allowed.
see you all tomorrow
