My Voyage Through The Sun

     Beetle Bailey! Blondie! Al Capp! These people helped me begin my voyage through the Baltimore Sun at age ten. My first stop was the comics section- two whole pages daily and two whole sections on Sunday! What a way to start my day- hanging out with my new friends! My second stop was the sports section. My twelve year old mind couldn't get enough stats about my favorite Orioles or Colts.
    Where else to look for my first car but in the classified section? As young marrieds, my wife and I looked there for an apartment and then our first home. Children need all types of equipment, so the used furniture section was my next stop. Young fathers are always looking for a way to provide better for their families, so a trip to the help wanted section was made weekly.

      My first adventure into investing led me to another station along the way- the financial pages. Wow! How could I ever navigate my way through here? I turned around and left my investments to the professionals.

     Free time after retiring gave me time to visit the puzzle pages.Now I leisurely get my coffee and test wits with the puzzle makers. Mondays and Tuesdays are the easiest. My current stop on this voyage, sad to say, is the obituary page. Occasionally I recognize a name from my journey. I reflect to remember something special about them and where our paths crossed. Some day my voyage will end on this page.
