call me old fashioned....
 

I miss being acknowledged when I am checking out with my purchases.

I miss people being polite while walking or driving.

I miss having only a couple/few choices when deciding what to buy.


I miss meeting women in person first....then talking on the phone or otherwise.

.......you

I miss.... spending Sundays with my dad...getting up early for mass, then going for a drive in the country...listening to his old time rock n roll....telling me stories about when he was a kid.... good times :)

I miss my best friend.

I miss mine, too.

I miss going out to lunch with my BFF... I miss her face and the way she laughs and leaving for the craziness of our lives after our lunch with a smile knowing everything was going to be fine as long as we had these moments...

...fall in New England. I liked a page on facebook called "VisitNH - New Hampshire" and locals have been posting pictures of the fall foliage on there. It made me cry.

I grew up in Sterling, Massachusetts, a little town north of Worcester. My grandparents had a huge oak tree in front of their house (it's still there) and the amount of leaves it would drop seemed endless. Fall as a kid meant jumping in the leaves my siblings and I spent all day raking up just for a few minutes of fun. Then grandpa would eventually burn them. There is no smell like jumping in the leaves and the neighborhood all burning their leaves. When I smell ylang-ylang it takes me to that head-space for a second.


Fall in Tennessee isn't the same.

Sane conversations with my BFF.

Pajama days with the love of my life.

Family dinners at Mom's house.

Ren Fair, DragonCon, comic books, movies and sci-fi favorites.

Long, wine-tinted conversations about love, life and the universe.

Feeling at home in my own skin.

I miss the Carolinas...

I miss my favorite deli near my old job.....all this talk of gouda has sparked nostalgia....

AND


I will miss lilacs for an entire year...sigh...the season is far too short....just like football....which I also miss...

(w)

I miss...
 

the ocean, seeing the ocean, feeling the ocean, smelling the ocean, touching the ocean and the feel of the white sand.

I miss my memere.... I miss her cooking.... I wish she were still here... I never did get around to learning how to can.... :( Her birthday is in a few days...I guess that's where this is coming from....

I miss my wife. She in in Lake Tahoe for a fundraiser for cancer. Tomorrow she will embark on a 100 mile bike ride around the lake. Be safe , honey!

Another birthday..............
