Where has the time gone?

I see this was started in 2009.  I think it started out as one of those "I'll show you mine if you will show me yours" type of thing.   Photos, that is.  A photo a day or something like that.  Needless to say it didn't get off the ground very far, but that's how it goes.  Now I'm back and I think this will just end up being a mish-mash of thoughts - mine.  No doubt a photo here and there  ... bits of wisdom from my 72 years on this earth and who-knows-what-else.  I'm not entirely sure how this process works yet, so bear with me as I test the waters.
