The thing is that that little Saturday afternoon ride had a powerful impact on my memory, and my thoughts and I just had the need to write about it, so I did.

It has been said that before you die your whole life plays before your eyes and Im starting to believe that is true. It doesn’t play in an instant though, you remember it in bits and pieces as you get older until finally you have remembered it all.

And, I understand the compulsion to revisit the places where you became you. Last Christmas, my wife and I were back in the town where we grew up, met and married. After dropping her off at her mother’s house, about 20 miles from where my parents now live, I took a stroll through my past – driving through the now decaying heart of an old city built on steel mills and auto parts; down to the first house I bought out of college in the ghetto ($700 down on a $13,000 house I bought at a VA auction, and shared with a buddy from college; yes, we were two white guys in a bad part of town, but we were young enough to treat it like an adventure and I later sold it for $19,000); then to the house my wife and I lived in when we got married and finally to the house I grew up in. Things change, some for the worse and some for the better, but the trip brought back years of memories.
