We grew up in the same town at the same time and shared some of the same experiences. Our careers were completely different yet we’ve ended up in the same place. I listened to you every morning on the way to work. Now I read your observations of life on my iPad. It’s comforting to know that I’m not the only mid 70s retiree whose thoughts about our stage in life parallels mine; “Renewal, Growth Achievement.”
A phone call with my parents is a frequent thought. I would reveal that when they turned in at 8:30 and I thought they were nuts that were now in the same place. You and CaroleAnn are troopers staying up ‘till 9:30!
BTW, The Pine Cove is still there. One of our haunts from 45 years back before Jen and I were married. We drove past it last week and the memories came right back. I’m sorry for your loss, Dave.
Hello, Jack! Pleased to almost, sorta, meet you. We happened to be in Sacramento recently, visiting family and attending a funeral. As much as things have changed since we moved to L.A. 25 years ago it's great to learn that some of our past haunts are becoming lifelong memories for a new generation. Long live the Pine Cove!
Great post Dave. Sorry to hear about your friend. Your perspective here is humbling, encouraging, and excites me to accept phases of life that lie ahead of me, be they what they may. Thanks for the lamp you give here to take with me
Looking at life from this far in it would be very difficult to regret any of it. This is the place where it all starts to feel important and the difficult times make sense as well...that's where much of the wisdom was born.
