but, gotta tell you….just didnt feel like writing.
This past Friday I went to a show at a club in Arlington and saw 3 bands play. The bands are important, but they’re not for this blog, so I wont mention them by name, nor the club – and, people have some things set up so that when their name appears somewhere….they know it….and I dont need them to know this.
While at the show I saw 2 people out of the probably 180-200 that caught my eye….I kinda had a freeze and a rush of memories fly into my head.
Person #1 – Some girl wearing a black and white checkered flannal shirt.
In 1994, I volunteered at a church and worked with High School and College aged kids. I ended up giving a talk to the kids about the road I’ve walked.
Mind you, the road I’ve walked is NOTHING compared to most everyone…but you know what….we all have our road…sometimes we share it and sometimes we go it alone.
But a girl named Karen was on that wknd and she wore this black and white checkered flannel….I wont forget her for some reason b/c she….well….she was 17 for one so that was a no-no considering I was about 8 yrs older I guess at that time….but I remember her hair and her eyes….her brown eyes.
I remembered seeing her 2 maybe 3 times after that weekend and never since – just by random bump-ins.
And, the other girl – kinda dressed like Reese Witherspoon in the promo photos for Legally Blonde – looked like a girl named Lori I used to work with at the restaurant. Lori, no real personal connection with.
Karen – yes. I wonder what she’s up to these days.
I wonder what I’m up to these days.
