No Rewind Button

Just thought I’d do a quick check-in. Many thanks to all (DH, Ex-PH2, PT, and TSO) for holding down the fort while Jonn was under the weather and I wasn’t available to help.

I heard this while on the road for the first time in a while. It somehow seems apropos. It’s a lovely song – even if the accompanying video’s imagery is IMO a bit overdone and heavy-handed.

IMO, it’s also damn good advice. Sometimes each of us forgets three things:

(1) you can’t change a damn thing about the past;

(2) many things happen in life that are beyond your control; and

(3) you can get through damn near anything if you can keep your wits about you and remember to pause . . . and breathe.

 

 

I’m hopeful that things will settle down and allow a return to whatever passes for “normal” in terms of contributions here in another month or so. Till then, my contributions will likely be sporadic and infrequent.

And yeah, IDC SARC – we know you’d hit it.  (smile)

    Sorry that life has gotten in the way of your regular appearances here, Hondo. I hope that you are back here soon. I know that cemeteries are full of irreplaceable people but that doesn’t make their replacements them.

    Hope things settle down for you amigo!…

    We sure miss you here on the farm…but we understand the realities of life outside the ‘net.

    Great song choice, one of my favorites at times as well…though lately I confess to listening to some more classical rock stuff as I work out to keep my old ass from getting to an old and fat ass…

    We eagerly await your return. Our best while you take care of business.

    I think it’s unfair to blindly assert that IDC SARC would hit that. Maybe he’d simply enjoy watching that in a calm manner, respectful of the artist’s ability and aesthetic value.

    I know that feel, but family and work take precedence.
