rearrange and change they aren't the same thing.

Today one of the many elevators at the veterans affairs hospital in seattle smelled like the boys i ran with in jr high back in fresno. the doors opened, stalled halfway for a few seconds, and then all the way wide. i stepped in and was hit with it, like a time machine. cigarette smoke, peach schnapps, and drakkar aftershave all swirling in a 3 x 8 box.

i chewed my lip all 6 floors up.
it was half my life ago exactly.
i still get excited like i used to.
i still miss people like i used to.

i am glad for both.

happy as a clam with a cantaloupe smile. the good weather just keeps on hanging around and i couldn't be happier. school is out for summer and halo goes to summer camp and comes home covered in sand and sweat. it reminds me so much of being young and free and what it felt like the last day of school waiting for the bell to ring. the excitement stirring and the sun shining. i hope he remembers these days forever.
