This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2025 the theme is a random assemblage of things that are on my mind--or that just pop into my mind. Whatever! Let's just say I'll be "Tossing It Out" for your entertainment or however it is you perceive these things.

Sad Songs ( #AtoZChallenge )

 



        Sad songs are some of my favorites.  Happy songs can be uplifting or fun or downright silly.  But the sad songs seem to stick with me the most.

Red Rover ( #AtoZChallenge )

 



      Red Rover is one of those games from childhood that I remember existing but me rarely playing.  I can't say how many times I did play it when I was in elementary school--probably in second grade or earlier--but I know I played it at least once or twice.  I always wanted to play it but since you basically had to have a number of people to play, it was something we didn't do much.  Now if I played senior Red Rover I'd likely break my arms or do some kind of damage.  It's a call from the distance of childhood memory that I'll likely not hear again. Do kids play that game anymore?

Quill ( #AtoZChallenge )

 


       Quill catalogs used to come to my office regularly throughout the year.  Quill was an office supply company.  I don't think they had any retail stores, but just delivery in bulk orders.  I don't recall ordering anything from them.  If I did it wasn't very often.  I normally ordered from Staples I think, but that was over 20 years ago.  I don't need many office supplies these days.  But I still love them.
