I just got one of those dreaded phone calls. My best friend of much more than 50 years is gone. He took me to my first Buffett concert. My first running race, the St. John’s Hospital 10K, was with him. So many other moments.

There is a void in my life. And it keeps following me around.

I saw it in real time. I very nearly literally puked. Seriously, the room started to spin. I couldn’t turn it off fast enough.

I took a few breaths and said out loud - Well, that’s going well.

Oh my f’ing gawd.

I’m hearing this a little differently now. The dreams of the boomers, the hippie generation, are now truly gone as we now live within the deluge.

Let the music keep our spirits high….

We tried, sweet friends.

On Labor Day 2023 occurred one straw too many and my world that was already struggling to stay together, fell apart. I turned to one man’s lyrics. The pieces came together when I heard his rare cover of a James Taylor song. I now have a prominent permanent reminder of a not very temporary feeling.

Launching soon….

Hi All! First post here. Moving off FB after nearly two decades there. I don’t want to lose a bunch of connections, so will not just drop FB right away. But, …. Well, you know why.
