Signs of Aging

Every summer when I was growing up, I'd drive by and see these marquee signs outside high schools and think, "Good grief, those people must be old."

Today my dad drove me on the old route we used to take to school on the days he would drive me and I didn't have to be one of the only seniors on the school bus. This is what we came upon as we approached my high school.

It's all relative, isn't it?

PS Still haven't heard song memories from a lot of you readers out there. Come on! Who's your fav? Aerosmith? Twisted Sister? U2? The Police? Olivia Newton John? The Boss? Milli Vanilli? (I can't believe I put all those groups in the same paragraph.)

Retroactive Irony

I find it refreshingly ironic that The Pursuit is launching its "Retro" sermon series around the same time I head to Louisville for my 20th high school class reunion.

When I get our scanner fixed, I'll post some classic big-haired 80s photos of myself for your amusement.

Meanwhile, Alex is collecting songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s for the band to cover during the series. What do you recommend? Beatles? Elton John? Michael Jackson? Tiffany?

Oh, and in case you're wondering ... my prom theme in 1988: "I Had the Time of My Life" from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.
