Well I recently became a life member of ANA and the final switchover  from regular member to life member (for some reason it was delayed for several weeks after they were paid) occurred today.  I now find myself with a shiny new number LM 7133 but I also find myself with no blogs, and no history to my name.  I suppose someone at ANA could link my old account to my new account and make me whole again but I am quite frankly filled with ennui and could not care even a little bit about my lost account.  I suppose it is out there in the ether?  Maybe I can look myself up and marvel at my past musings but I just feel free now and I am going to push ahead like the newbie I am.  Pictured is my 15 year ANA membership medal from 1992.  I quit ANA for over 25 years in 1993 and now in 2022 I start anew.   Yay for me.
