My son’s Facebook status today was about cassette tapes and the death of the Sony Walkman. In the comments that followed were reminiscences of making mix tapes for friends and taping from a record player. It brought back memories of sitting by the radio with a tape recorder much like the one in the picture…
Memory Lane Monday…Eres Tu
The other day David was watching a movie downstairs and I heard a little snippet of a song which brought back memories of singing in junior high choir. I hadn’t heard the song in years and years but just a few bars of the tune (I couldn’t even hear the words upstairs) were enough to…

I don’t recall any of us talking about the lyrics so I’m not sure…
Farewell to Summer…
I am so not ready for summer to be over. No matter how much I like my Nine Inch Nails hoodie, I shouldn’t be wearing it mid-September.
