There's nothing like a few twists and turns to make our lives exciting. It seems like everything and everyone is going in a different direction. Since the advent of the Internet, we are bombarded by good news and bad news from all over the world on a minute by minute basis. Communications technology has advanced much more than Dick Tracy ever imagined, totally ignoring geographic, political or generational boundaries. Kids grow older, parents grow older, and even some of our friends that we haven't seen in a while grow older, everyone but us, of course.
When I look at my high school classmates and other kids that I grew up with, that is the few that have actually put their real faces on Facebook, I'm stunned at how much they have changed, but not me, of course. We like to think we are safely standing on our own platform watching people spin, spiral, loop and age their way through life, involving themselves in everything they can before time runs out. There are a lot of ups and downs along the way, a few grey hairs and many receding hairlines, but there is always another path, another loop, or another ride to try. How's your ride going, today?
