Well, it's early nights

And pillow fights

And your soft laugh

Fantasy world and Disney girls

I'm coming back

#small town #Jim it’s here #Really is here

Orienteering Merit Badge homework.

#today in New England

Jim, it’s here. Really is here.

Country shade and lemonade

Guess I'm slowing down

It's a turned back world

With a local girl

In a smaller town

The greatest achievement in the history of rock and roll music, Exile topped the charts on this date in 1972.

I won’t go on and on about its place in the Mighty River that is American music; I’ll simply state that if you didn’t know better it was easy to conclude that the musicians who made this music were members of a Black band from the American South.

This music will never be equalled.

Phillips Exeter Academy, Class of 1945 Library. Louis Kahn, architect.

Friends, it wasn’t that long ago that giants walked among us.

Architects in planning rooms today have forgotten their faith in natural light. Depending on the touch of a finger to a switch, they are satisfied with static light and forget the endlessly changing qualities of natural light, in which a room is a different room every second of the day. — Louis Kahn

If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life. —Frank Lloyd Wright

Friends, we get the architecture we deserve or at least the architecture we put up with. If you’ve visited Washington, our federal buildings from the 60’s and newer are, to be kind, uninspired.

Our President—yes I know you hate him, spare me the lecture-our President issued an Executive Order to mandate that new federal buildings refer back to classical forms. Whether I agree with the Order is irrelevant. What is relevant is that the President of the United States has refused to rubber stamp bad architecture. I’ll take that for starters.

The Scots were wonderful guests and we want them to return. If ever a town was designed for thousands of good natured enthusiastic sports fans, it’s Boston.

We are the greatest city in the world. Come visit. We’re buying the first round.

Well, this kinda puts a damper on my evening mood.

70 is a curious age. Some of us are working hard to defer or defeat the looming demons of cancer, metabolic diseases like Alzheimer’s or diabetes, and other illnesses like ALS, MS, or stroke. I no longer drink hooch and haven’t smoked in ages.

Others of my friends are saying fuck it and burning it all down, taking up hooch, dope, and fast food like they were some kind of secular sacrament.

I’m not gonna analyze the partiers and hope they don’t analyze me, but geez most of these folks led straight and sober lives until recently. They’re living life today as though it’s Cosplay for the roles of roadies in an Allman Brothers tribute show.

Stay tuned.
