[VFB] Concert for George (off topic)

[Tom Davenport]

I just saw the "Concert for George" (Harrison) on PBS and for many  
like me on the sunny side of 50 it was quite emotional to think of the 
water that has passed under the bridge.  We had great times, scored by 
the music of  our youth, but of course they are gone forever (except 
for memories).  That is how life is, it sweeps us along and we can't 
believe WE will be the ones getting old until is sneaks up on us and it 
is a done deal.

So I watched the rock and roll stars of my youth gathered together and 
took some comfort in seeing that we have all been swept along by the 
same river.  Still, I wouldn't want to go back and do it again, I 
haven't forgotten how much hard work it was!

Sorry for the off topic meanderings but I have felt the nexus of my 
upcoming birthday (56) tomorrow, a rougher day than usual in my 
classroom dealing with clueless, knot head adolescents and a daughter 
who moved out today (on happy terms, she is twenty four and feels like 
it is time).   I guess I just needed someone to talk too.

Life goes on...
