Memories

I used to pride myself on having a phenomenal memory.  I could tell you what you were wearing at a certain event on such and such a date in 1991.  I could quote the cost of a white, square neck shirt with floral embroidery adorning the neck from Aeropostale in 1995.  Yet, when I was approached this past weekend at an Alpha Phi reunion down in Towson with a few little anecdotes from my past, I could swear I had amnesia.  You could have told me I rode on a Homecoming float wearing only Mardi Gras bead, knee socks and heels, shown me a picture to prove it and I still would not have remembered.  What does this say about my mental condition? Nothing bad…sounds like I had a damn good time as a Towson Tiger/Lady of Alpha Phi.

The most disturbing thing I learned about my own past:

Apparently Mentos and sock are efficient teaching tools.  What do Mentos and a pair of socks have in common? Not what you would expect.  However, both of these items have provided a life lesson that deemed itself beneficial to at least one of my sisters. 

LESSON LEARNED THIS WEEKEND:

Thank the Lord we did not have Facebook and pocket sized cell phones with photo and video capacity back in the mid to late 90’s. 

LESSON RE-LEARED THIS WEEKEND:

Friends are friends, brothers are pals and sisters are soul mates for life.
