Past Lives

Though I'm grateful not to have lived during Victorian times, encumbered by layers of garb and prurient attitudes, I find many of the graces that came out of that era to be very endearing.

Life may not have been easy but it was simpler. Afternoon tea was a time set aside each day to take a break and enjoy one of life's natural beverages.

I have an affinity for vintage things.

When it comes to music, I dig classic rock and American standards; retro household items, too, for nostalgia's sake. With an old Raleigh bicycle and an '87 Honda Accord, my love for old things makes me wonder, "Am I an old soul"...

...or just old?
