Have you ever had a day when the universe lets you know that you must be doing something right?

Glory Days – Greenwood Lake Middle School’s Class of 1980
It probably wasn't coincidence that I heard that Springsteen song not once, but twice, on my way to the 35th reunion of my 8th grade class, right?
