Funky Foto Flashback: In the Dorm

It’s a winter day in the Midwest, and I’m writing a paper in my dorm room. I was an undergrad, which would be about 1988. Look! Big 80’s glasses! That thing I’m typing my paper on? A typewriter! At least it was electric, and it even had spell check. It would beep if I spelled a word wrong. I still had to look up the word in a dictionary. My handy dandy typewriter even had auto-correct! Ooh, Ahh….

Bex is hosting Funky Foto Flashback over at Adventures of the Grigg Boys. Go see what funky foto she has this week!

What Could Be Better?

I’m driving along today, on a trip to Target, windows down and radio blaring, kid-free. The sunshine, wind and music brought back a memory.

Fort Dodge, IA. Summertime. Borrowed silver Cadillac, new driver’s license, teen-aged girls on a mission.

We went to see Top Gun, when Anthony Edwards still had all his hair, Val Kilmer looked hot in a uniform, and Tom Cruise was dreamy.

“I feel the need…the need for speed!”

Summertime, here we come!
