This photo is the 2021 version of me, a man with many chins and a drooping face in front of our hanging pots. I am approaching 71 and suffer the many foibles of my age group, However I thought that my head was fully populated with hair, white, but still present. On one of my visits to Katey's to feed Apollo, I went into the bathroom and and positioned mirrors to see the back of my head. Much to my disappointment, I gazed upon a widening field of open scalp on the top. It shouldn't bother me but was a humbling indication of the march of time.
Musical giant Chick Corea left us recently. It was him, Herbie Hancock and electric Miles that introduced me to modern music in my post-rock period. I had all the Return to Forever albums and the lovely Light as a Feather record featuring Flora Purim on vocals. But beyond electric music, this guy could play in many styles leading numerous collectives and with duets with Herbie and others. Have tuned in to Pandora to his channel and found many more recordings by him. Its making me think about music more, listening deeply to all the parts of the tune and the instruments.
Shannon is over for the night and as you might have guessed, Beauty and the Beast is on for the umpteenth time. It's always our first selection. I really miss Jerry Orbach on Law and Order and hearing Lumiere sing remind me of that.
Our apartment will be filled with little boys today. Friends Jeremy and Chalene and sons are visiting this morning for bagels. These guys are wonderful creatures with boundless energy and laughter. Haven't really seen them since the lockdown began. They truly make me smile.
Uncle Len is 90 today. I will call him.
Hopefully we will have our 1400 bucks soon.
all for now
stay safe
Jerry... Nice looking blog! Dwight H. here... I started one at Keendu.blogspot.com. I used to have some car related websites but discontinued them and I'm trying out Blogger instead. I don't know exactly what direction the blog will take, but we'll see what we can do with it. Good luck with yours.
