Anniversaries

I had planned to write an entry on June 16th because it is when Joe and I got married.... but I didn't, I watched a bunch of movies instead.
I'm OK with that though..... we were married 3 years ago because I wanted to quit my job and I wanted to be on his insurance.
There were other reasons.... less cold reasons... but .... there are things that are more important to me than our anniversary -so- instead I wrote an entry about Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches.... it is sort of my love letter to him.

On Fathers Day it was the 10 year anniversary of my Mom's death. I had planned to lock myself in a room for a few hours and spill my digital guts....but I didn't do that either. Instead we spent the day at Joe's sisters house watching Boris play with the rest of the dogs in the family. I think we made the right choice.... I would rather have living experiences ... and I have plenty of time to piece together the past later.

.....and lastly it has been roughly 10 years since Star Wars Episode I came out ..... so I wanted to write a little bit about that..... and how I find it absolutely stunning that 10 years have passed.... I was in High School for the 10 year anniversary of A New Hope... the years between kindergarten and High school were literally a life time for me...... and now if I hear a song I like from 10 years ago I feel cool and modern. It all seems impossible. AND then it hits me..... My Dad who knows great details about every car made from 52'-59'---- that's me now..... I'm just old, it is a very simple answer.

Here for fun is a link to a journal entry I wrote the night before seeing Episode I for the first time.
