Not long ago at a class reunion, several of us got to talking about “film strips.” If you attended elementary school during the 1950s through 1970s, you may remember these visual learning tools.           Because there were so many of us, states quickly constructed schools to contain us. Educators developed scholarly “film strips” to help instructors explain complicated concepts.      Film strips were like slide shows. Each film strip had an audio record that came with it.

I’ve always been jealous of people who discover their talents early. There was this kid in my middle school class named Karen. She drew nature scenes better than anybody. Anytimetheschoolneeded pictures of flowers, vegetables, baked goods – or even background scenery for school plays – they called on Karen. Sadly, she left school because the family moved back to their home state. We often asked ourselves: Why did she have to leaf? Did she branch out into other types of art?

Didyoueverhaveaperfect day, 24 hours when everything went right? I had one yesterday, and it scared me. I woke up at seven, feeling great. That’s crazy, because if I breathe normally before my morning coffee, something’s not right. My Dad lived a long life because hemonitoredhishealth constantly. He insisted that “Feeling good is the first sign of feeling bad.”WhenIwasinmy20s,30s, and40s,everydaywassunny with no chance of storms.
