Not to long ago I got together with two of my old High School buddies. We were a quartet back then, one of our number has since passed. We sang our old songs (mainly Mills Brothers songs from the 50’s), we went through our year books reading entries and smiling a lot and at one point we went through the ‘No longer with us’ list, published on our Class of 56 web page (SMHS56), and eulogized our friends.
“Remember Ray, he was such a great guy,” or “Wow, Corkie’s gone. She was so much fun,” or “Oh no, Sophie Tsavalas is gone, I went to the Senior Prom with her”. On and on we went through the entire list of 78 old friends that we hadn’t seen for 60 years. It was sad and enervating in one respect, yet joyful and ebullient in another. Reliving an ‘ancient’ fondness is somehow very rewarding. I really got into it.
“Jake, cmon now, you’re living in the past,” my buddy said to me.
“Actually, Jim,” I said, “I’d prefer to think of it as remembering the past, something our 78 old friends can no longer do. Recollection is something we can do in the here and now and I for one savor that ability.”
Very descriptive post, I liked that bit. Will there be a part 2?

Heya! I realize this is sort of off-topic but I needed to ask.
Does running a well-established blog like yours require a massive amount work?
I am completely new to writing a blog but I do write
in my diary every day. I’d like to start a
blog so I will be able to share my own experience and feelings online.

I do accept as true with all of the ideas you have introduced for your post. They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too quick for novices. May you please prolong them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
It depends on how old you are. You will see when your time comes. Try my books, you might like them.
