Your first anniversary, the first steps your one-year-old took, the signing of your first home mortgage, your first kiss. These are all milestones we celebrate throughout our lives - but why? Is it our constant need for a sign of progress or our love of celebration? Could it simply be the human condition we move forward in our lives in search of some sort of meaning and affirmation of our accomplishments? Milestones, goals, or hurdles we overcome exist in every society across the globe and they seem to appear to be more ambitious as the universe gets older...

I recently wrote about a visit to the town I attended high school in. On that same trip I took a few pictures of the school, and a few places I worked when I was a teenager. One of those places was a print and copy shop called Kwik Kopy. The owners at the time I worked there over 20 years ago were a married couple, Dan and Peggy.
For some unknown reason I choose to go inside Kwik Kopy and see who was running the place now. To my surprise when I walked in, there was Dan. Maybe a few more grey hairs, but I certainly recognized him. To my utter shock, he recognized me immediately. He must have had many people working for him over the years and I was only employed there for one year. How and why did he remember me?
