Mixed Emotions

One of those strange days today . . . and maybe of mixed emotions.   My electronic diary reminds me that I am celebrating an anniversary.

Apparently it was this day, 15 years ago which marked my last day of full time working, so I couldn’t help but at least to pass by the entrance to this place today.  Memories yes, but I doubt there would be many people I actually know if I had stopped by.  Still fewer people, if any, who would remember me or even heard of the name.

Memories of that last day are understandably a little hazy now, even though I spent a working lifetime with the paper and many of its associated publications throughout much of the south and south west of the country.

I have been fortunate in being able to continue many of my connections with publishing even if no longer in an employed capacity.

Time flies, they say. I certainly would not have believed it was 15 years, had my diary not come up with the date.  I guess I cannot complain!
