You can go back to a place, but you can’t go back. Nor should you want to. But maybe you want to.
On my trip around the East Coast, I have visited bits of my past, e.g where I did my undergrad years (or where I did my undergraduate fun). On plotting today’s odyssey leg from southeastern Pennsylvania to Washington, I noticed my route went very near Thurmont Maryland.
Which is near Cactoctin Mountain Park.

That is 31 years between a photo of me at 17 in my parent’s basement and just last night in my friend’s son’s basement. Much chnages and miles between. But that blonde telecaster is the same as it ever was, a thing that I just enjoyed holding, then and now. I have written up the […]
Today is Sunday, I am reaching for the phone to call Mom (still, forever in my “favorites”), but alas, set it down. My day is brightened. Yesterday while at my friend’s soccer game, I saw a butterfly waft over the field. The #cookielove that started September 4 rolls on — and I keep piling it […]
This first order of business after arriving at Cole Camplese‘s house (past a huge hello hug) was a trip to Otto’s to fill up the fuel tanks for the evening’s activities… cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Well, actually before all this was a round of play in the front yard […]
