I’m sitting in the 555 12th St. lobby where the faint smell of industrial cleaner and other general, large building lobby smells remind me of my first office job in Columbus, Ohio. I’d go to work with my Dad early in the morning and was intimidated by all the Very Serious looking people in their…… Continue reading Journal entry – In Oakland

Posts about specific memories from my past.
Journal entry – The fall season and elementary school
Yesterday I made a reminder to write a post about fall in Ohio. As I began to gather my thoughts I looked back and see I already wrote a post about this at the same time last year. It is now 5:09 AM and since I’ve already written about what I wanted to write about…… Continue reading Journal entry – The fall season and elementary school

Memories of Raymond Memorial and Wilson Road Golf Courses
It is 6:31 AM.

This happens every time I heard them…… Continue reading Memories of Raymond Memorial and Wilson Road Golf Courses
Memories of my Grandparent’s house
I only remember visiting my Grandparent’s house four or five times when I was a kid. It was located in a dying coal mining town known as Bellaire next to the Ohio river, right next to West Virginia. Pulling up to the house the first thing I always noticed was how the sidewalk in front…… Continue reading Memories of my Grandparent’s house
