Doing a double-take on the title??? I don't blame you, but to use a phrase from the Terminator of California, just because it sounds girly man doesn't mean it is. It solely depends on your DREAMS!!
Under 10 years old........I constantly thought about being a great baseball player........well that ended very abruptly at the age of 19. Just over the 11 years old mark, I dreamt about having the hottest looking chick in school just following me around all the time. That ended a lot sooner than the baseball dream. Now, the only dream in my mind is to be able to open the newspaper each day and not find my name listed in the Obits. Mind seems to be OK .......still able to APPRECIATE.......women........however they no longer have to be the best lookin in the class as long as they have a brain.............and willingness to take care of me in my old age. I guess while I'm dreaming, they might as well have some kind of an awesome bod......if for no other reason than to just keep me DREAMIN'
I guess, different people have different dreams. It seems that the miss America's all seem to have the dreams of spreading peace over the earth along with feeding the children of the world or..............bringing all people together for one big party!!! Well, I'm happy to hear that they are interested in that.... perhaps they can spread some sense to our lawmakers about getting off their fat asses and do something for the people they keep talking about protecting......then again.......some times I think those young, good looking Ms. America's do have a brain bigger than those politicians I speak of.............along with a dream!!
THINGS I REMEMBER..............FROM HIGH SCHOOL
Dr. Suchoff----- could never figure out why we had to call him DOCTOR ....he flunked medical school........get over it. OH!!!!! a PHD!!!!........in music?
Jacket or Sweater clubs........if I remember this correctly, Jackets were for the girls clubs. Sweaters were worn by the guys (Athletic letterman sweaters). If a guy wore a jacket or v.v. the meaning was that those two were........."going steady"
Having your lunch at: Tiny's.......could never get over how they got their name. Neither Lester (Albert) or his dad were TINY.............. Woodmere Diner, Schneiders,Cafeteria or brown bag heaven depending where your group ate....................
Fishing off the dock at Woodmere dock at the end of Woodmere Blvd. I remember my dad would love to take me there just to hang my feet over the edge of the dock, throw my line in, which was a stick with a long piece of string on it and topped off with a safety pin and a worm. Never caught anything but it was just the thrill of being there, with my dad.
Becoming a member of the Hewlett Fire Dept during my senior year, and a member of their tournament team. Racing off to fire's during class. WOW! what a thrill!!!!!!!!
SHORES.......or was it Shore's......or was it Shores' well whatever it was, the burgers and shakes were great but could not compare to the peer friendship that ended up there after the games. OK! Lets meet at Shores!!
"Give me a bucks worth ( 5.75 gals ) " and check the oil and water.........OH don't forget to wash the windows and put new air in the tires. THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!
Ever since my first REAL........job with Scandinavian Airlines..........I have always believed in how much education and insight travelling gives a person. No matter what I read in books, the sheer experience of ..........BEING THERE............and seeing, talking, and listening to the people was by far more than one could learn through books. With this experience I have always encouraged others to do the same. Over that period of some 50 plus years now, I must say that I have had the opportunity to visit many cities in many parts of the world and there have been many cities that I have missed. I always enjoyed the little towns rather than big cities primarily because I always considered the big cities as tourist centers, I wanted to get out amongst the locals. This year, we visited a city, I have always wanted to go to but never did............I would like to share a little of that city with you now. More than likely you have been there but I wanted to share with you the experience of not only seeing the city but looking at the handy work of putting it together for you.............something new for me and I found it to be a lot of fun. Welcome to Venice, Italy. ENJOY!!!!
