Random Thoughts In The Wake Of The Trip
Mar. 20th, 2010 12:05 pmI really could have stayed another week in Florida, but I got enough of the things on my list done and all the people who matter most to me. Darn it, if America had actual passenger trains running I'd shuttle between here and there all the time.
* "And I'm Never Going Back To My Old School..." As said earlier, on St. Patrick's Day a high school classmate had invited me and my brother to a party at an Irish/Sports bar. Going was a necessary mistake. The music was way too loud to carry on conversations. We found our "party" but beyond two or three people we didn't "mingle" and while I thought I recognized one woman--I didn't want to talk to her. The truth came to me that if I really wanted to socialize with my classmates in school, I would have. These days there is no meaning attaching me to this crowd. All of a sudden I feel okay with having been shunned and flunked. I just didn't fit in.
* Too many of the people I know are now attached to oxygen apparati. If you smoke, quit. If you don't smoke, don't start.
* I will never again go in a Disney store. Mike dragged me in one so he could look at Princess figures. They'd never hire me, but I bet working there would drive a lot of people insane.
* I will probably swear off eating more than one meal a day at a restaurant. Not so much the expense, or necessarily the food...just the stress is enough.
* Q-105 is back. The Tampa station is now Sixties/Seventies/Eighties oldies rather than baseline Top 40, but they haven't lost the style that made us fans for so long.
* I decided to not be the Lipinski Proxy this time. Dana's fantasy baseball league is down to five participants so their draft today will probably run a lot quicker even without my assistance.
* Atlanta's highways are bedlam. Both ways we had trouble with crowds and volume slowdowns. Dunno what route I'll take next time tho'.

( Lives And Their Crossroads )This midmorning, we went to Titusville to see Mother's childhood home, the school that both Mom & Dad attended as kids, other local landmarks...and the new Wal*Mart outside of the city limits to shop for pajama pants. No, I will NOT pose for photos wearing mine. Need to draw the line somewhere!

It probably predates the Internet by a better part of a century. When I visited the Railroad Museum at the Horseshow Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania. At the gift shop there was a large photograpic print of an old accident where two locomotives had piled atop each other. The caption was not something I want to repeat here.

( Always Be Careful At Railroad Crossings )I've always wanted this song to be paired in an anime music video with Galaxy Express 999, especially the escape from Earth in Adieu.
