Thursday Thanks

I am thankful for the memories that hearing a song evokes and how a particular song can take me back to a specific time in my life. Tonight as I was on my way home from playing racquetball, I heard Hotel California and I was transported back in time...

• the year was 1977;
• the month was June;
• the event was my graduation from 8th grade (Catholic school);
• the happening was the 8th grade graduation dance;
• the crush was Stephen Denevan;
• and the final song of the night was Hotel California.
