1 AM and just returning from a Dark Star Orchestra concert at higher ground. Dark Star is my favorite Grateful Dead  cover band.. As I stood there listening they played one of my all time favorite songs: “Uncle John’s band’ ..   a line form there ‘where does the time go”.. struck me as the theme for my day/week/month/year/life…    This morning, on my run,  i was marveling at how many times I’d run the snaking path down by the river in the last 30 years.. Today at work.. I was amazed (and I admit dismayed) as I plied through old emails in search of a bit o info.. I came across so many things I’ve been working in the past year that are only slightly further along than they were a year ago.. how can time pass so quickly  ??? .. Then Tonight .. watching Gabe play a very good LAX game.. I was thinking back to how many years we’ve watched or boys out on the field.. then … to dinner (marcos’) .. an old favorite haunt.. How many sandwiches there ?? How long it’s been !

At the music venue I ran into a friend.. now a woman.. whom I knew as a baby.. That’s what I was thinking about as I watched a room of gray (or no) haired hippies dancing and bobbing to music that was old when I was a kid..

Where does the time go… ?

it’s all right here…

nite all, nite sam
