me, with my dad, circa '82
I was thinking this morning about when Prince’s 1999 came out, and how it seemed soooooo far away. I was about 12 and couldn’t imagine being 29, much less the year 2000! Then I started wondering if it was because I was just a kid, and time seemed so relative at that age. So I thought, “okay, the song came out in ’82, so it was 17 years off. it’s 2011 now, so 17 years from now it will be 2028… woah…” it still sounds super futuristic. Like something out of Duck Dodgers… Or am I just getting older and weirder?

Don’t worry — if we start out weird we end up weird — well most of us anyway — I should know because I started out that way. Although when I was youngster I felt different but didn’t know why — and I still don’t know why. So I just keep on truckin’. I am in my hibernation stage for this past year I hardly go out of my house…….to be continued.
