Incredibly good book. 

Not sure is high school kids today can read it.  

My Night Of Music Is Beginning Earlier Tonight -- April 18, 2026

It's hard to believe it's been 20+ years. You said it would take eight years (?) to forget each other. 

It's been 20 years and the memories for me have only intensified. 

I'm doing fine. My wife and I are both in good health; our life revolves around our grandchildren. Our  "physical" situation could not be any better; the situation I cannot allow to change. But that doesn't mean I'm not an emotional wreck on most Saturday nights thinking back to those halcyon days in Yorkshire.

The Hillbilly Moon Explosion covers this one also. This is a nice break from the better-known version.

Not A Day Goes By ... Posted January 14, 2026

... that I'm not thinking about you. 

Nothing. Just haven't checked in with you in a long, long time.  

AI prompt: Is there a term to explain the type of brain activity when one thinks about something completely unimportant but comes up over and over in between thoughts required for "real life?" I'm not talking about "daydreaming" which can last for several minutes, but I'm think of those random thoughts that pop up throughout the day. Do neurologists / psychiatrists have a "word" or "phrase" for that kind of mindless thinking? 

I guess it would be "wonderful, positive, mind-wandering." I never want it to go away. It's all I have.
