Time passages

It seems like only yesterday when I started this blog, but it's been two years. My basic premise when I started was to focus in on time. I've always had a intense fascination with time. I think it comes from an experience I had when I was seven years old back in 1970. That year seemed special to me, even though nothing really special happened. Some will recall that year as the year that Apollo 13 almost had that horrible accident in space. Others will recall the Kent State shooting and all that entailed, but since I was only seven...nothing really special happened....except I relived that year twice.

Yes, I know what you are thinking right about now. How can you go through a year twice? I did. I remember certain things that happened during that first 1970 that didn't happen during the second 1970. One of the biggest is Apollo 13. When I first read the history book that year (I was a precocious child) I noticed that the book clearly said that the Apollo program skipped over the number 13 due to superstitions. When I read it again (second 1970) Apollo 13 was mentioned along with its near disastrous results. I remember feeling a chill go up and down my spine. This, of course, wasn't the only clue I had but it was the biggest. It was like going through a time passage....
