Old Times
I was able to get a paperback reprint of my Munich 1981 senior yearbook and it arrived yesterday.
Talk about a blast from the past.
I spotted myself on the edge of 2 pictures ,and reacquainted myself with people I'd probably never see again ( although I had seen/talked to some of them since), plus my 3 other ubiquitous snaps .
I was voted "Most Individual " of the senior class.
I was 16 / 17 that year , and it's 26 years later now.
I don't feel old , but my friends , that is a freakin long time ago.
I showed my daughter all my crushes ( I was only there for my senior year ) and she said,
" All the guys look the same .Same haircut.How did you keep them apart ?"
I think I like yesteryear's "the same" better than today.
I saw a young guy across the street talking to our neighbor the other day and he had :
tats all over, a baseball cap on backwards( how original), baggy camo pants with his black bvds sticking out ( Why ? Why do I have to see them--they are called "underwear") , and a lit ciggie hanging out of his mouth.
He looked like every young male clothing trend over the past decade rolled into one.
Just unappealing to me .
Man even horizontal striped
polo shirts and shaggy wings looked better than that !
Yup ,I am definitely heading into geezerette territory now.
These young people today...

Today's Tarot
The Knave of Swords
card suggests that my power today lies in promise. I am bright, edgy, curious and articulate and am developing respect and competence through preparation and practice. I am anxious to be tested or challenged -- but I am not afraid to question authority or participate in the latest craze. I am a perpetual student of learning and try to think before I speak or act. I am empowered by confrontation or opportunity and my virtue is self-restraint. 
The 411 on this reading:
3/4 of it could be about me , the perpetual student /self -restrained trail blazer ( Wer es glaubt wird seelig).
I am not really a trend follower( unless it suits my needs like boot cut jeans, camis and blogging ), and I hate tests and challenges.
Just believe I can do it ,K?
