up and at 'em! one of the saddest things is when you realize that you no longer recognize something (or someone for that matter) that you once knew so well. i do not know if this is a phenomenon that you have ever experienced, but it is one that i am familiar with oh so well. in fact, just the other day i was driving along route 106 and discovered that a large section of vegetation had been wiped out, so that a local bank company could construct a castle-like structure as their headquarters. some of my favorite stores from when i was younger-- dorothy lou's bakery, roche bros., even my own neighborhood--appear foreign to me. granted i am getting older and my sight is not as stable as it once was; regardless, i have an issue with these childhood gems being plucked from my life. i want to experience all these wonders like i did when i was eleven and seven--except i can't! i must cope with the reality of this discovery and react accordingly. so far, my reaction has been one of grand disgust and abhorrence, but just like almost everything else, give it time and all will be well. i'm not sure if i will ever recover from my most recent findings, but one thing is for certain, "the more things change the more they stay the same" (i'm sorry but i cannot give credit to the author of those wise words, because i do not know his or her name and therefore must plead ignorance). it's good (no, it's great) to be blogging again...
