I would like to post photos, reader memories, my memories of what used to be; those things that are dear to us no matter where in the world we may be. Sometimes, a little old talk by someone else can bring it rushing back.
 
This reflection is meant to bring out the feelings that we may have experienced but thought we were alone. Yes, we joked, pitched, broke-beach, stormed, limed, played, picked mango, bathed in the spring, went Mayfair, and grew-up together; but sometimes people get on as though it didn't happen or it was so long ago. Man, I feel like I haven't left Newtown yet; except, these days the benches feel kind of small.
 
We'll see where this takes us...you never know! My wife is from Bermuda and she remembers the green-canvas schoolbag...so you never know!
