Friday Notes

• It's amazing to be at an age where many of the musicians and bands that I grew up following have become legends and members of the Rock-and-Roll Hall Of Fame but I can recall when they were young and much lesser known. Or even unknown. Where I can remember their classic records as being new and full of mystery and excitement upon their release. Where I'm given shivers by simply visualizing the album cover. Where you had no idea of their eventual place in music history and culture.
• The moon tonight ..... 
  
  Stunning and bright. Autumn has arrived!! The seasonal difference can be felt in the evening breeze. It can be heard in the trees. Or seen in the sky. For some it's a renewal of hope. 
• A longtime respected management person in her final day today. She's leaving for another job, another company. She arrived years ago at a time where a different management style was badly needed. Replacing a style that had fostered major resentment and distrust. I'm a little sad to see her go. You appreciate honesty, fairness and stability.
• Overheard ..... "Everyone likes broccoli." ..... An extremely WRONG thing to loudly proclaim!! You just crossed paths with one of the exceptions to your rule.
• "If I could, I would." A thought that suddenly entered my mind while thinking about recent dreams. Not sure what it applies to.
• A late evening drive through the neighborhood I grew up in. Everything seems darker than remembered. The streets seem narrower but longer and lacking any sign of activity. There's no one out for a walk. It kind of feels like the movie, "On the Beach" where the buildings and cars are still there but the people are missing.
