This is dad's expression for Speed - I'm not quite sure what a Tin Horn is, or why someone would use it for that, but I guess when the two meet some major velocity is produced. While thinking about this expression one person comes to mind - Andy Newguy. That guy is fast, but I also started to think about speed and time and all of that stuff, which is kind of hard on the head frankly.I have been to six schools in Freddy in the past two days - at Devon I ran into my grade 4 teacher Mlle. Roy - She didn't recognise me, but when informed who I was she exclaimed "little Scott MacAfee", as I was about 4'2" in grade 4 if memory serves me - she called us the Class from hell, she also informed me that - all of this happened in 1980, 26 years ago, crazy! seems like yesterday to me. Then onto George Street where former Social Studies turned Vice Principal gave me a tour of the school - big changes, same smell (very odd) - then on to Albert - the Principal asked me if I went to Albert, I said I only came to their dances, then FHS and so on. It really takes you back, I've lived a lifetime since then, but it's flown by.
WE are expecting a baby sometime in the next 29 days (My wife is hoping for fewer) and it seems like forever, but it's the waiting for something makes it better - I guess the waiting is the work that you put into something that makes it worthwhile in the end.
Today also reminded me of some words a great man once said "Life moves pretty fast sometimes, if you don't stop and look around every now and then it will pass you by" - Ferris Bueller (He influenced my Junior High career)
So today I went for a walk and looked around , not a Tin Horn in sight...
