This morning when I was walking through the halls at the school I heard an applause coming from the gym. The cheers and noise I heard brought me back to when I was 17 and a senior in high school (we’re talking 1991-1992 here).  There was a band called The Edge that was touring high schools.  I don’t recall how many times they performed at my school while they were in town, but I know it was more than once. They were the typical hairband of the late-80s/really early-90s. I was soooo totally crushing on the lead singer. He had beautiful long blonde hair.  Well, it was beautiful back in the day. Now I’d just laugh at him.

I found out

he they were going to be at the high school in the town my sister was living in the following week.  I drove down and took her step-daughter to the assembly/concert with me. I had a brief moment to talk to the dude and he was all, “You really drove all this way down to see us?” My reply was something along the lines of “I just had to see you again.” How very groupie of me. heh

So, this little flashback made me think about the Scrollback Saturday that Bonnie has been doing.  Scrollback Saturday is where you look back in your blog archives and repost/talk about something you blogged about on the same date in previous years (correct me if I’m off here, Bon).  I thought it would be fun to start doing a Flashback Friday where I talk about a little flashback from my past (at least 10 years ago).  We’ll see if I actually stick with doing this because any dedicated readers of my blog know I usually end up dropping the ball on stuff. But I figure if I remember to do it every now & then, it’s something!
