Bag of Randomness for Thursday, December 14, 2022

  • This is some sort of pass my dad had in Vietnam that allowed him to stay out after a curfew.
  • My church small group had their annual Christmas dinner last night. As I’ve mentioned, I’m the youngest in the group by what I’m guessing is at least 15 years. It’s not everyday you hear someone start a story with, “So, Frank Sinatra introduced himself to me at a party.”
  • I take my dogs on car rides a lot. One dog will go straight to the driver’s side door, wait for me to open it, and then jump in. The other dog will always go around the entire car and then jump in. I’m not sure why he does it. He kinda looks like he’s looking for an entry point. One time, I decided to open the driver’s side door first, before I even told them we were going for a car ride. Despite the door being wide open and seeing his brother jump in, he still did his bit and circled the car before he jumped in. Another time, I carried him into the car, but he jumped out, circled the car, then jumped back in. Maybe he think’s he’s a bomb sniffing dog and just wants to make sure it’s safe. Maybe he’s watching too many mafia movies.
  • When I read a short biography or profile on someone, like a teacher introducing herself to parents in a newsletter or website, I like to know where they went to college. It really isn’t important. It’s just one of those things nice to know. But it annoys me to no end, when after they state where they attended school, they add a little cheer in parentheses. When I see that, most of the time, I think that was their peak in life. Now I’m reminded of college. I had a college VP who also taught classes tell our class that if any of us ever thinks our best time in life was in high school or college, then we should go ahead and kill ourselves and end our life now. He was dead serious when he said it.  Because, why go on living if your best days are already behind you. What then do you have to look forward to? He wanted us to live with the mentality that we are either living our best life at the moment or that it’s out ahead of us. This is a hill I’m willing to die on. Now, if someone says the funniest time they had in life was in high school or college, then I think that’s okay. Just don’t say the best days of you life have already passed.
  • I don’t want to think my best days in life were in high school or college. I don’t want to think the best days of my life were when I had everything I wanted, a wife, kids, and a house. Life can be better, and I look forward getting out of the valley and back on a mountaintop.
