'Old Cars, Strong Hearts' & other thoughts....
Permalink Closed

"May your days be merry & bright" __ Irving Berlin/Bing Crosby __ 'White Christmas'

 

 

Remember me?!

 

"Music tells your story, seethes your anger, relaxes your worries, celebrates your excitement, embodies your emotions ... from across the years & for multiple time periods & reasons ... even if you can't...."  --- CD Stevens, 12/29/2012

 

 

OLD CARS, STRONG HEARTS

I created a new page on Facebook to celebrate "strong hearts" & "memory makers" (old cars, roads, buildings, music, TV shows, movies, toys, games, etc.).  Please check it out & join, if you want:

2012

I'd like to forget this past year, for the most part....  I am tired, weak, worn, stressed, but I'm alive.  Part of me wants to be DONE; part of me wants to believe in hope; part of me wants to get in 1 of my cars & "drive so far they'll all lose track" [line from Dolly Parton's 'Hard Candy Christmas'].  I'm not sure which way to go?  I've endured 4 open heart surgeries, so this should be a piece of cake; the last year has been anything BUT for many reasons & levels.  Lately, my energy level & restlessness [thanks to not eating or sleeping much] has been such that, despite the many projects I should do, the only thing I feel like doing is driving around aimlessly....  &, yes, I have applied for disability.  I haven't continued writing my Route 66 story ... yet.

 

 

CONNECTIONS

It'd be cool if we all lived in the same town.  I have ties to many of you, some of which would not be possible w/o the internet ... car interests, heart issues, music interests, message boards & groups, etc. ... even meeting in person at events here & gatherings during my yearly road trips.  Yet, w/o our different homes & backgrounds, we may not have the experiences to share w/each other that help us find connections....  That's little consolation as I may not be able to road trip for quite a while, if again.  THANK YOU for being a part of my life.

 

 

THE ONE

This pic includes a pic taken September 1984 ... me & "the 1" that started it all, "my" 1976 MC ... & 1 of 4 hubcaps I have from that same car.  If my parents had not bought it, I most-likely wouldn't know many of you.  Life is funny.  Pics, cars, music, places, etc. bring back sssoo many memories.....

Nah, not completely, Dave. Not sure, though ... lol.

Good to "see" you again, too ... too bad you can't come back to IL. :)
