So much drama in these clouds it could be late summer, pre-autumn. All the limbs waving and the windmill going, the swoosh of the leaves. I am out with the headphones on a walk and the Moody Blues again, a new Sunday pastime, to bathe myself in these melodies for the coming week. The walk takes longer than the album though so I go fast in hopes I can get home right as they hit the gong at the end. And with the signs for garage sales and open houses there’s nowhere better to be. I used to think I had to get high to make life better somehow but man am I high on life right now. Lily and her boyfriend pulling into the train station in Germany, Charlotte watching the kids at Sunday school, Dawn flying home from Munich. All of us in separate parts of the world but I’m so connected right now. Breaking in a new pair of shoes, key lime pie for lunch, laundry hung on the line to dry. This day could last a thousand years if you want it to.

Beautiful Bill.
Let’s hope you
give ‘The Longest Day’ a good spin
Be well and do good,
DD

Love it. Sounds like all is perfect right now. Susan would be raking me over the coals if I wrote this. She’s a big believer in jinxing your luck.

Hi Jeff! Hope you’re well buddy. Thanks for this and hear you on the jinxing thing. Just had to try to capture that, so weird to finally enjoy life so fully as I’m pushing 54, enjoy it while you can, Cann.

Love the last line. And the ones before it too. But I like the how the last invites us all in, suddenly.

That’s cool; the last line is borrowed from the Moody Blues: kind of the theme/ premise of that seminal first album of theirs, where they were playing with the idea of time.

Ah, I like how you pulled that in then! Not familiar with their stuff outside one or two “hits” so didn’t pick up on it. Nice!

I know, no one would ha ha. Was fun to listen to a podcast about the making of that 1967 album and then to spend some quality time with it, on headphones. Especially coming into summer, and the prospect of having most of it off beginning next week! I’m pumped.
