My intention for doing all this is as a form of escape. I don’t know about you guys, but as the world gets stranger I find myself clinging to things that provide some form of comfort. I rely on my family and my faith, in part, for that same reason. I realize that there might be some people who would rather forget their high school years, and don’t see them in the same halcyon light I seem to. I also understand that for some who live in Loudon, life goes on, and sometimes that means butting heads with former friends and classmates, and that tarnishes some of the idyllic luster as well. I can’t change any of that, and wouldn’t even try. Life is way bigger than this site, and we all have to live life as best we can. I just hope that in some way this brings back a pleasant memory or two.
Dealing with computers is, as the old saying goes, a lot like a baseball game... long stretches of boredom, punctuated by short periods of intense activity. But unlike a baseball game I don’t get to drink a beer and eat a hot dog when it gets boring. What I do get is little snippets of time that I can sit here and post things. It’s not enough time to write a novel (or finish a manual or website I should be working on) but I let Blogger worry about the coding and I just do the posting. So far, after a month, I’ve managed to round up 10 former classmates and I have feelers out to 3 others. I hope you all, in one way or another, enjoy this as much as I do.
Thanks to those who have left comments, and to Donna for reminding me the pic of downtown was backwards. :)
