I'm not one who typically gets nostalgic or particularly misty-eyed over anything related to my high school years. I've stated before in a number of blog posts that I just didn't care for high school all that much. It's not that I had a horrible experience or anything, it was just mediocre. There's not a … Continue reading The Decades Project

Light and Sound
When I was a kid, my grandparents (on Dad's side) lived in a house in a neighborhood that was located behind a high school. I'm sure if I were to drive through that neighborhood today, it would be completely different than the way I remember it. But the way I remember things being back in … Continue reading Light and Sound
Can We Talk About Mrs. Doubtfire’s Apartment?

Can You Teach Me to Read?
No, not literally... I know how to read. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to write if I couldn't read... right? But maybe I never actually learned how to read.
