I'm in a quiet mood, missing a few things. I thought I'd share...

	I miss my mom and dad.
And my dogs.
	I miss family trips to the north shore.
And my youthful innocence.

I miss the times when we all -- to lesser or greater extent -- defined ourselves by the music we listened to.

I miss late night talks with close friends; and I miss those friends. (You know who you are, Deb, Michele, Molley, Nan, Katie, Casey and Tom.)

I miss the days when it was safe to eat the fish from the lakes and swim in the waters. I miss the winters when it actually snowed so deeply you could build snow forts that seemed like they were a mile deep.
