Dad and Mom had such a love for words and what an impact that had on my life. I recently watched the movie '7 Pounds', and although the film was touching, I lost track of everything in the movie when the Printing presses were shown (I will not go into the movie storyline, for those who have not seen it.).
Floods (literally floods) of memories came to mind and I hope by the YouTube clip,(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2rUVH1HGSE&NR=1)you get an idea of the sounds that Bob, Lynette, Myrna, and I grew up hearing.
Even the smells of the Chronicle came to mind. The mind is a wonderful thing.
Sometimes I am overwhelmed with memories and don't have the words to speak (wouldn't mom have fun with that one).

I just watched that movie with Devin and Sarah this past weekend and that is exactly my reaction. In fact, we had to stop the movie so I could explain that I helped print my wedding invitations with my dad on that exact printing machine that it showed. It was a memory building moment for me and it made me miss them that much more!

Even now as I listen to the YouTube adddtion, I can even begin to smell the Chronicle. combination of ink, cigs, and sweat.
