An Awesome View of Life

One of the Cool Kids. My 40 year class reunion was this past weekend.  Saturday night was the "official" party but on Friday night we had an "impromptu" get together at Turner Hall.  This freezer door was in the main entryway.   While standing at one end of the mosaic tile my thought on this whole scene was -- "If I follow these tiles to the freezer door will I become one of the cool kids?"  Said more with a bit of ha-ha because after all it IS a freezer door.  (: I guess I never really cared if my classmates thought I was cool or even noticed me at all.  I was who I was, not always happy with certain aspects of being me at times and not always accepting not being one of the "cool" kids but I think we all at some point in our lives want to be someone or something different than who/what we are.  I was extremely quiet (not necessarily shy), very unique and fairly smart.  I had good friends that were pretty cool just like me.  ...

Windsports).   While waiting for our food I set my camera on the table and shot several table view shots and then saw Deb taking photos of ME with her camera resting on the table.  I could see the reflection of my own camera in her lens so had to have that photo.   The red lighting is the neon lighting on the wall next to us that says "Eat Like A Pig".  (Which ...
