That's a great question!

Like the movie, "I'm baaaaack!" I have allowed my schedule to be incredibly busy these past couple of months, so writing to a back seat, as it were. I figured it was time to tickle the keys again.

One of the dichotomous notions involved with advancing along Life's path are the polar opposites of "I'm not that old!" and "I'm so old!" as a reaction to situations that arise through the sharing of common experiences or opinions. Along that vein, nostalgia dictates that we look longingly backwards at the things that struck a chord at formative periods of our life, and as such, questions arise from time to time that conjure up some memories of yesteryear because they made us ponder or contemplate.

While I'm proud of my cognitive powers, I didn't come up with all of the questions below on my own, and since making a note of them quite a while ago, I can no longer recall where I copied most from, so I'll come clean that I did, in fact, plagiarize some. I give full credit to the original author. If I'm honest, however, I did come up with some of these on my own, but who knows if it was creation or recall. If great minds think alike, so be it!

Enjoy the thinking that some may conjure!
