Journal Entry – 10.1.2023

It is 9:00 AM on October 1st, 2023. This is the start of the holiday season which is always a wonderful time.

Westland Mall – Columbus, Ohio

Time passes quickly. It is shocking to me that I’m only a few years away from 50 years old. It doesn’t seem so long ago that I was 38 and still considered myself young. The reminders are everywhere. Kids born in the year 2000 are now 23 years old. They were born five years after…… Continue reading Westland Mall – Columbus, Ohio
