I confess that at one time I had my "dreams" (fame, glory, and -- of course -- wealth). Now, with a great future behind me, my perspectives had changed, and I am far more at peace than I ever was while I had the "dreams."

An interesting conversation to be had about that. I continue to want the Pope’s balcony.

No fame desired. No autographs sought. Although a distant memory of an autograph book surfaces--but that was for my little friends. I am a notary but that's the utility player in the world of autographs. All is just another chapter in the book (Who Gives a Shit by Ed and Mike--the imaginary book with every chapter named the same as the title) :D

Ricky Nelson, one of the most underrated singers of our time. Got to see him perform in E. Lansing when I was attending Moo U. Front and center. Amazing.

We have very different memories. I’m old enough to remember his closing episodes of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet [his parents, you see] with a song. He made being in a rock and roll band seem fully as exciting as studying for a math test. :-)
