I'm so unorganized... and forgetful. I was having a couple 99-cent burgers at Del Taco tonight for dinner and started to jot down a To Do list for myself in a little notebook. One of the items on my list is to maintain a list of blog topics. (Yes, my To Do list contains other lists!) While I was writing up the master list, I thought of a great blog topic. But, I didn't write it down. Now, a whole hour later, I can't remember what that topic was. I blame the double-edged sword of caffeine, which gives me focus and clarity but also seems to rob me of memory. Of course, it could be old age...

I seem to be wandering down Memory Lane quite a bit these days. As I've mentioned before, I've been swapping a lot of memories with my new old friend Russell about our days in New Jersey. In addition, I received a short email from my good friend Lori, whom I also went to school with, but in Illinois rather than New Jersey. Lori encouraged me to get involved in a couple school activities— radio club and drama club— on top of my involvements in the school newspaper and literary journal. Unlike Russell, I have kept in loose contact with Lori ever since leaving Illinois, even though several years may pass between communiques between us. You'll also see her picture on facebook, where she is one of my friends.

Short post today. More tomorrow.
