Traveling back in time: fairly recent time...not so recent time...and time before my time |
 Sentimental Journey Gonna take a sentimental journey Gonna set my heart at ease Gonna make a sentimental journey To renew old memories Got my bag, got my reservation Spent each dime I could afford Like a child in wild anticipation Long to hear that "All aboard" Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven I'll be waitin' up for heaven Countin' every mile of railroad track That takes me back Never thought my heart could be so 'yearny' Why did I decide to roam? Gotta take that sentimental journey Sentimental journey home, Sentimental journey!

There will be included among my personally-experienced stories and those that have been passed along to me entries about others who have shared that need to write memoirs and thoughts, so, if you share my love for this sort of thing, I hope that you'll return often to read my writings here. One thing you'll be noticing is that you'll find pages here where I've set things up to write a story at a later date. This might be equivalent to how movie theaters will show trailers of what they'll be showing in the not-so-distant future. If you want a quick guide to which stories are finished, go here:
Anyway, I'm going to sign off by extending: |
