These are stories about my past. They actually happened

Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend”
Albert Camus I’ve always love the notion of this statement. The idea of walking through life with friends at your side. Traveling together through life’s ups and downs. Being there for one another on equal ground. I have been fortunate on many occasion to have this be a reality, in my personal life. However, those…

Life before GPS
I read a post about this. REALLY? According to the post the company that created it was founded in 1989.

‘Tis better to have loved and lost…
Alfred Lord Tennyson Once again I am surprised that the peom related to a quote says way more than the quote has come to mean. I had always thought that this quote meant exactly what it says. That it is better to have known love and lost it than to never have experienced love at…
