Circle of life for seniors

[mouakter13]

But much like many of the newspapers that have paved the way for this little printing, hopefully those grandparents are still reading it, cutting out a piece and putting it on some space-age refrigerator.

And the column you are reading?

Well, like so many of mine before, it could not have been done without the little tidbits of information on your sons and daughters and, OMG, your grandchildren??!!

What you read today is not just me.

I could not have spent my hours outside of work yet away from my personal life and finished this project without the help of many of the names you will read in the articles you see to the right (or the left depending on where my mugshot is placed).

Ahhhhhh, the circle of life.

Many of the Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé seniors will be participating in their last home sporting events Saturday, and they will be celebrated.

Many more have already done so and they and all their country wise email marketing list classmates will graduate soon.

I think this class of upperclass youth still know what a printed newspaper is…maybe they have even touched the paper and ink and looked at the smudges on their fingers…certainly their parents have cropped a bit out and placed it somewhere.

I still collect them all.

The plastic bins they rest in have slowly become the furniture of my tiny living space. Luckily, my significant other understands what they mean, the physical part of the five senses my generation was raised on.

We slowly turned a page and experienced the feel of thin texture, the sound of the parchment rustling, the sight of black and white or colored blocks of life jinga-janga’d (did I just make that word up?) around line after line of letters suggesting how I might feel, and, of course, the aroma of fresh ink or dust or however long it existed in some readers hierarchy of literary amusement.
