I've had the Simon & Garfunkel song Bookends going through my head this week.
Time it was
And what a time it was
It was
A time of innocence
A time of confidences
Long ago it must be
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They're all that's left you
I think it was prompted by the hockey game on Sunday, when the Capitals retired Mike Gartner's number, and when my sister and I were walking around the concourse, we ran into one of the guys who worked at the Capital Centre back in those days.
And of course there was the four-generation family Christmas party. The next day, I was talking to my brother and his girlfriend, and she asked who'd end up hosting the giant party when my grandmother no longer could. "Nobody," my brother and I said almost simultaneously.
And it's New Year's Eve.
And I'm turning 40 on Sunday. There are some people who make sound like I should be bothered by turning 40...oooooh, getting old.
After last fall, I'm happy to be getting old.
But there's still a sense of...damn, time sure is flying by. And sometimes I didn't even get a picture.
It was late in December
The sky turned to snow
All round the day was going down slow
Night like a river beginning to flow
I felt the beat of my mind
Go drifting into time passages
That's Al Stewart. Enjoy the lite rock soundtrack of my life, and happy new year.
