Madison

I love going to Madison. I forget how much I miss my family and friends sometimes. This weekend my sister graduated, the weather has not been more pleasant in the past ten months, some very good friends played the very good game of Settlers of Katan, mortal combat, army of two, halo, and some other games. The arboretum is still just as beautiful as when I last saw it. My family is still healthy and well. There was a fair amount of drawing and bumming around the old computer which holds so many of my memories. Towards the end of my stay I shared some wonderful memories of my childhood with my mother. We stood in our hundred year old basement and flipped through the artwork of my sister and I. The works were from the 90’s ranging from 91 to 97. I’m not sure I’m capable of properly expressing those moments with words. Not just the time in the basement, but the moments of the past which filled my mind.
Often when thinking back, it feels like not much happened that is all a fog. I know that much of my memory is fabricated, but the inaccuracy doesn’t bother me. It still feels real and I still retain the general feel of that period in my life. When thinking further I begin to realize how much actually was happening at the time. Not just in the world, but in my own personal world. I can’t even imagine trying to understand what it was like for my mom or my dad or my sister, let alone others.
An old friend of mine and I were able to share a few drinks last night and remenice on the olden days. The days of yore in elementary and middleschool. Mr. Watters, dominated the mainstay of the converstation because of his amazingness. His intensity, his character, and his good will. My friend and I both agreed that he was probably the most influencial instructor we ever had, by a long shot. Thanks for reading my nostalgic rabletonic post.
