I’m not sure what floors me more… that 1992 is thirty years ago or 1982 is forty years ago. They both seem like yesterday.
On this day in 1992 I went up to Milwaukee for Summerfest with a group of older guys. They were all like thirty to thirty five years old and I was just twenty six.
On this day in 1982 my mom took me to L.S. Ayers and bought me a couple izods. Then we went to Houlihans in Glendale Mall for dinner.
Today is my 20,454th day. If I make it another 10,738 I’ll make Thanksgiving of 2051.
July 1, 1966 - November 23, 2051
That would be a solid tombstone.
That gives me 28 more summers and by then all those guys I went to Summerfest with will be in their nineties.
As I wake up closer to sixty than fifty I reflect on a pretty decent tour so far….
Shit….. five years ago today was my Felix Unger day…. “Happy Birthday asshole! I think it’s time you leave!” That sure did change the course of things.
This next trip around the sun should be interesting. I’m glad you guys are all with me….
Think of Rodney Dangerfield at the end of “Caddyshack.”
“Hey everyone! We’re all gonna get laid!”
