Flashback


Desparate Housewives

Here we are... the dynamic trio coming to you back from 1984! Sharon Mim and Me. Friends since... well, since we in grade school, like, since 1978. We grew up together just blocks from each other's homes. We shared teenage angst, pimples, boyfriend dramas, and basically, our shared hate for all things that conformed. Proudly we all can say, heads up high, that we never did. Conform that is. Here we all are, married now, Mim and I even have families, and, we are as still as cool as we were in 1980 whatever.

Sharon's wedding was the best I have ever been too. The DJ rocked. Played all our favorites. The best was... The bride and groom did it their way - all the way. Sharon and Scotty finally married the loves of their lives. They were engaged for the first time in 1985, who knows what happened, life most likely, and now they finally walked down that aisle into marital bliss.

I flew in for the week just to be there for Sharon. I have been here on Long Island catching up with family and long lost friends. Sam and the girls or in Finland staying with his family.

Life has been a flashback. I am loving the freedom to catch up with old pals. A nod to the old times, I picked up my rental car and what did I get? A Chevy Malibu. The same wheels I was driving circa 1984. How strange is that?

As has been said before by Alphaville.... I want to be, Forever Young.....

A dopo!

Forever Young is perhaps better remembered as a classic Dylan tune from 1974:

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
