Carl Johnson<p>Continuing thoughts on my own history – I came across an image from 1977 that represents a remarkable moment in time for me, as well as a challenge. I was never satisfied with how this printed – but times and technology have changed. So have I. </p><p><a href="https://mynonurbanlife.com/choices/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">mynonurbanlife.com/choices/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/memoir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memoir</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/essay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>essay</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PersonalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/photograph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photograph</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/BWPhoto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BWPhoto</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/blackandwhite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackandwhite</span></a></p>
Carl Johnson<p>I finally came back to reflecting on our return trip to Syracuse earlier this year, writing about a very transitional time – the year we lived in a downtown apartment at Presidential Plaza. New job, new marriage, eventually sobriety – it all happened here. And yet, I barely remember the place. I talk about why that may be:</p><p><a href="https://mynonurbanlife.com/going-back-part-eight-presidential-court/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mynonurbanlife.com/going-back-</span><span class="invisible">part-eight-presidential-court/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/life" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>life</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/memoirs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memoirs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PersonalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/memories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memories</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/addiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>addiction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/addictionrecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>addictionrecovery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/sobriety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sobriety</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/recovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recovery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Syracuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syracuse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/SyracuseNY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SyracuseNY</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/SaltCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaltCity</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/marriage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marriage</span></a></p>
Carl Johnson<p>Again, images from a 1946 <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/HighSchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HighSchool</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Yearbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yearbook</span></a> from <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Schenectady" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Schenectady</span></a>, NY. Again, the past is really a different country. It's always remarkable to me how each individual teen and young adult era has its own sayings and phrasings that make perfect sense to everyone in it, confuse those outside of it, and often become indecipherable decades later. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/LocalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LocalHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PersonalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalHistory</span></a></p>
Carl Johnson<p>How could so much time pass in so little time? We're celebrating our 40th anniversary in just a week, so it's been a real time of nostalgia and wonder as I look back through photos and try to understand how time works. </p><p>These pics are from just about when we met, 45 years ago. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/nostalgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nostalgia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PersonalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/photos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/1970s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1970s</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/anniversary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anniversary</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/marriage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marriage</span></a></p>
