Heya Truman, you hottie, I've been "missing" from here too.  Apparently they send out search parties when you're gone too long.

OK here is something weird on the genealogy front: I recently found out that 90 years to the week before I drove a hundred miles round trip to see Brokeback Mountain, I had a great Aunt, who climbed in another car with a bunch of people and drove a hundred miles round trip to see Birth of a Nation.

Now, please do not assume I am comparing the two or that I am in any way endorsing Birth of a Nation, which I have seen and once is enough, thank you very much. It was a cultural phenomenon in 1916 and she participated in it, as I participated in mine 90 years later.

That's actually pretty interesting.

  Is it just me, or are the headlines for the various threads ALL BECOMING CAPS NOW?

Tru doesn't like shouting.

So then today I had to replace my wallet. I had bought it in July of 2007, right before going to Alberta, that wonderful time on the mountain.

I knew I had to do something before I lost a credit card, the stitching was coming out. Still it is sad. I am going to keep it, it does not take up much space now. I will put it in the drawer with my graddaddys.

Hoarder, that is what I am.

You know how some people save Christmas wrapping paper on the pretense of reusing it? My Granny did that. I still have the paper to prove it. Its older than I am, I have to take care of it.

Maybe it's a guy thing to be attached to your wallet, even when it's worn out? I have a drawer full of old, worn-out wallets. I've just never gotten around to throwing them away. Every time I need a new one, the old one just goes in the top dresser drawer with all the others.
