Home again

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Made it home again safely. I’ve put together a gallery of pictures from the vacation here, hope you enjoy them!

As if to remind me of why it’s important to enjoy these things in your life while you can, I returned home to news that one of my roomates from way back in my college years passed away from diabetes complications last week. It was someone I had lost contact with over the years, and probably haven’t even heard from in 10 years or so, but reading about his death brought back a lot of good memories of times we had in that house on Summit Street. Memories I haven’t thought about in a long time.

    Today, as we were walking around Savannah, my wife and I came across a lovely Presbyterian Church and noticed that they had a sign out about a Compline service that evening starting at 9:00PM. It sounded pretty interesting, and as we are always on the lookout for new and interesting things when we are traveling,…

    This being the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US, it’s a good chance to take a step back and remind yourself all that you have to be thankful for. I’m not going to bore you with a list of all the things I’m thankful for, but this year, with all the changes that have gone…

  1. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of friend…life is so complicated that way and yes, you are right – it is my rule of thumb to never again take for granted those that I love – to enjoy every moment possible with them because tomorrow may never come.
