Musings of this paper's editor
One day I was a writer, the next day I was the editor of the nation's first successful, widespread community journalism newspaper--The Northwest Voice. Writing has always been my passion, and I had contributed upwards of 60 submissions before I became editor. Now, I'm basking in my good fortune and loving every minute of compiling what I believe are masterpieces of unpracticed, non-professional, straight-from-the-heart journalism.

A blog about News, Neighborhoods, and Family & Home.

Blast from the past

Have you ever been in a work situation or just somewhere you'd never think you'd see someone you knew, and then POW!...out of nowhere, you run into someone from your past.  It happened to me today.  Within a split second, I was transported in time more than 20 years, everything else disappeared, and it was like I was 18 again.  WEIRD... because in that moment, I was 18, living back at home with my parents, no children, and seeing this man as a boy again.  It wasn't deja vu, it was more like stepping quickly in and out of a time machine.  It lasted about a minute. 

It was cool, but not something you can recreate or even order up.

Occasionally life just offers us really cool moments like this.

Rusty, had they read the article Caroline wrote about you, is that how they found you?  How cool!  Running into old friends is quickly becoming my favorite "high" (second only to running, which I don't have time to do since I started this working gig!).

 Speaking of old friends.  I just got an email (through Caroline) from people who were like family to us years ago when we first moved to Bakersfield.  They lived in Arvin.  We would go out there on weekends.  My girls picked carrots from a friends field.  My oldest daughter learned to drive on dusty farm roads.  It was great.  I hope, now that I know where our old friends are, that we can rekindle the friendship again.
