   See, I’m not a math person but that makes perfect sense to me. It’s like if two cars are racing around the same circle track, one on the far inside and one on the far outside,. Obviously the car on the outside needs to go much faster to get around the circle at the same time as the car on the inner track. Right? Or is there more to it?

   Tony Hawk Underground! What a blast from the past that brought back a ton of feelings and memories.

   I remember the sweet and fleeting last days of school like they were yesterday. Everyone in a good mood, fun outdoor activities once the schoolwork was all done (I grew up in a place where the weather was just turning warm enough for those activities to be outside in early June).

   The way we kids passed around yearbooks for signatures and little messages of well-wishes, our eyes sparkling with excitement (and relief) that this day was finally here.

   The way I approached last-day-of-school festivities and the very final bell of the school year with almost breathless anticipation.

   Those days were so carefree and full of boundless optimism for what Summer might have in store for us.

   I am glad I have such clear and specific recall of those times, because I’ve not felt anything like them since and doubt I ever will again.

   Thanks for following me down this spur road off Memory Lane!

    Money won’t buy happiness. But it will buy freedom from worries of being financially poor, and that buys a lot of peace of mind. Having been at the very bottom myself (and certainly nowhere near the top now…this is all just rhetoric even if it’s true) just the freedom to not wake up repeatedly in the night every time you have a nightmare about the water/electric/rent bills…that is actually worth quite a lot.
