A man in the sunset years of his life
How many of you remember K-Mark’s Blue Light Special they use to run in the stores? Not many I’d bet. Its been a long time since the last one. I think its interesting that the current K-Mark ads features a blue light bulb guy. Must be someone old at the ad agency.

I am just a man who is looking at the sunset of my life. The blazing daytime heat is being replaced with the coming coolness of the evening. The colors of the western sky are the memories of my life, the reds of hot times, the blues of good times. As the sun sinks into the night, the heat of doing is being replaced by the colors of remembrance until all I have left are the memories as I pass into the darkness. Yet as beautiful as the memories are, I still fight for the heat of doing and being. I don't want the day to be over! Please tell me I can stop the sun from setting.

Surely not TOO old, since I seem to remember the light going off... Maybe I was a wee one when it happened, but I remember it!
Its been at least fifteen years since I’ve seen the flashing blue lights.
Dude - I remember the blue light and RUNNING across the store (trying to keep up with my mom) to see what crappy thing was on sale. Maybe Nordstrom's needs a blue light so we can all relive it...
