I was sorting some laundry today and the date on the back of a t-shirt jumped out at me.<\/p>\n\n\n

Wait! December 13, 2012?!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I thought, “OMG! Did I see the Rolling Stones exactly 10 years ago today?!”<\/p>\n\n\n

Here’s the front of the shirt.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I quickly turned to my #1 source for personal memories — this blog — only to discover that I went to the December 8, 2012, concert instead. <\/p>\n\n\n

Dang! You know I love an exact anniversary, and I was so close! On the bright side, rereading my 10-year-old post informed me that Keith Richards will turn SEVENTY-NINE this Sunday, December 18, so you still have a chance to buy him a birthday card. Not that I believe he’s that young, of course. I think it’s more likely that he was formed at the time of the Big Bang, but he politely uses numbers that us mere mortals can relate to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2012 post also surprised and amused me with this sentence: “This September, I decided I wanted to have moves like Madonna when I\u2019m 54<\/a> …” Ha! That age clearly seemed far away then but it’s here now — in fact, it’s almost gone — and while I still don’t have moves like EXACTLY like Madonna’s, I do have some new dance skills.<\/p>\n\n\n

In 2012, I definitely wouldn’t have predicted I’d be pole dancing someday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Shout-out to the Stones and my near-miss of a t-shirt anniversary for breaking my latest bout of blogger’s block. I figured I’d eventually get inspired to write one of the Very Important Posts that I’ve composed in my head, but instead I’m writing about laundry.
