Autumn is here again.
Time for me to retreat into dark corners of my mind to dig through the steamer trunks full of memories and flip through the photographic memory books of my strange but colorful life. I bought a turntable today. It's been that long since my last turntable died. In the magical moment where the needle hits the vinyl I am transported back in time, back 15 years in time to the days when I was still full of dreams and blissfully free of the experience of half a lifetime. On this rainy night in October, I'm wandering through 1984 and music I listened to while I was falling in love with someone who would take so much from me and return so little.
