Once, when I was sick, my mom got me Brainy Smurf as a gift because I, too, had glasses. I was not 100% on board with this comparison. It felt like being picked on. I’m not trying to say I was completely offended. I liked it.

Minesweeper on Android
Sometimes I still play Minesweeper (on Android) like the good old fashioned 1990s Windows days. And sometimes I win!

My Old Trackball
I used to live and die by my Microsoft index finger track ball. I loved it. But it broke. People would come to my desk at work and become befuddled. I had to provide a standard mouse for visitors.
Time Collapsing

Plus, he was about four years older than I was. I really looked up to him as I thought he was polite yet cool. I was told circa 1990 by other kids in the neighborhood that Jason had tragically hanged himself and died. He was evidently a high school sophomore at the time.

I hope to find someone who knew hom better than I – perhaps Jason Johnston or members of Mesquite FB groups.…
