Seventeen in Summer 2016

Was it a very good year when you were seventeen?

I’m trying to really think back and remember. Good things? I graduated high school. I had my first really long-term girlfriend. What else, hmmmm.....I started doing radio stuff some, which was something I’d dreamed about since i was very young. I remember hiding under the covers with my AM He-Man radio to listen to Royals’ games.

I’m not sure what else to say. Not going to go all Frank Sinatra, and say “it was a very good year.” It was just things happening, really. Due course, etc. I chose where I was going to go to college.

It does seem like a bit of a blur (says the guy with permanently-blurry vision, but....).

I wasn’t writing then. Maybe if I’d written then I might remember more now. Who knows?

So, for tomorrow, because I’m tired, and a bit miffed about losing my Fitbit, it’s open write day. I’m happy so far that I’ve been able to stick with this this long. I can rattle on when I need to, even if I have trouble reading what I wrote.
