Hey Dave! Do I have to title my blog?!

Transitions: When does one end and another begin? Finding oneself when life's changes catch you unawares.

Do you still put dashes in your social?

sEARCH FOR YOUR LIFE
Tell me when you find it.  I've been looking for mine all my days.  Seems like everyone else knows who I am except me.  Whenever I think I've figured out who I am, a new door to my soul is opened and I begin to search all over again.  I'm always bewildered at the confusion that poors forth.  Why is it that everyone else has it all together except me? 

 When I went to my first computer lab for English at the JUNIOR college, all the YOUNG students started immediately on their tasks.  Not me, oh no, I sat staring at my computer wondering if I would ever advance beyond my SS#.  I finally got the nerve to ask the kid next to me what I was doing wrong.

"Don't use dashes in your social," he told me with defused annoyance. 

"Don't use dashes in my social?" What? 

For nearly half a century I'd been using dashes in my social!  Why do they do that to us?  Is it to solidify our feelings of inadequacy and dependence?  Well good.  I feel inadequate and dependent, I hope they're pleased.  I kissed my happy transition good-bye.
