About this Blog

My brother says I'll never get past it. You know, wrong side of the tracks, all my friends came from money, I'll never feel like I'm enough,etc. The upside? I'm an over-achiever. Grew up in Boise, on Longmont Street. Went to Garfield, East Jr. High and Boise High. Left for college, and never looked back...but ahh, the memories...young love, good friends, Lucky Peak, Boise River, the parks, McCall,Baseball games, Church dances...cool summer nights, did I mention young love?

Life or Something Like it

Evolving

This is about me evolving...or at least trying to evolve by understanding the what and why fors of my life's experiences and every other thing I've ever read, observed, listened to or in some other way internalized and digested...whether I wanted to or not!

My Philosophy

So it goes like it goes, like the river flows And time it rolls right on And maybe what's good gets a little bit better And maybe what's bad gets gone

The Day before the Day

Yep! It's my birthday tomorrow. My sis (Gina) called me tonight (to sing the happy birthday song) because she's going riding in the desert tomorrow. I've had two or three other people ask me my plans for the 'big day'.

I never thought I would be 56. I don't know what I thought the alternative would be but I know I never imagined me at this age.

So here I am...OLD.

I send pictures of friends that we haven't seen since we were kids (friends I've recently found on facebook) to Colleen(oldest sister) and she'll call me and say, "Oh my gosh they look so OLD! Do you think WE look that old to them???

Well...yeah. I think we probably do.
