...watching the All Star game... Barry Bonds looks suspiciously smaller than he did before all the steroid talk. HMMMMMMMMM???? I mean, he doesnt look as bulked up...
...my mother and brother are off on a cruise this week. I went home to just check-in on things. I think one of the most shocking things I noticed while I was at the house was the sheer quiet. We have a quiet neighborhood right now, but this was so peaceful, so...quiet. I actually took a few minutes to walk around the property. So much has grown up now. The paths of my childhood through the fields and woods are mostly gone. it seems that my uncle has tried to keep the major pathways behind the house cut. I started to walk them, but thought better since no one was there in case I ran across some animal not used to people coming across them. Perhaps I shall return this Fall and walk around some. And I asked myself if I missed that sort of quiet. Actually, no. I dont miss it. Its cool, and somewhat comforting, but I also sense a detachment from the world that I am not ready to do away with right now. No cable out where I grew up. Internet access by dial-in. At any rate, i think I like Greenville. and this area. I like being able to access civilization and be at a Mall in 20 minutes. While the area near my home has experienced growth, it still is out in the country. Living there would be a drastic change.
The trip last weekend to see Kristen and Erik was nice. I miss them both, and the effortless banter that comes from that type of relationship. I certainly will try to get a more frequent dialogue with these guys. And I certainly need to try to figure out how to do better with Lynn and Brandy, as it seems as though my only contact with them now comes through thier contact with Jessica.
Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories; They're all that's left you
