SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO NOW

I ENJOY WHEN I'M AT A CROSSROAD.IT ONLY HAPPENS A FEW TIMES IN A LIFE TIME. WHEN YOU ARE TOTALLY FREE TO GO WHEREVER LIFE TAKES YOU.

SIDE STREETS AND BACK STREETS

25 YEARS AGO PATTY AND I WERE EXPLORING THE BACK STREETS OF VENTURA ON OUR BIKES. ALOT HAS CHANGED BUT SOME THINGS HAVE STAYED THE SAME./i>

DINNER WAS $7.00. AVO ON THE SIDE $1.50

SHORE POUND

BACK IN THE DAY

BUT TODAY WAS THE SECOND MOST EMOTIONAL DAY IN MY LIFE ....PATTY'S PASSING BEING # 1 DAVID WEST ( WE GO BACK OVER 50 YEARS TO THE DAYS OF THE BLUEBIRD CAFE AND THE MUSIC THAT CAME FROM IT. SPENT MOST THE DAY BEING VIDEO GRAPHED AND RESPONDING TO QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE MUSIC SCENE IN THE 1970'S.ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS " HOW DID YOU MANAGE DOING CONCERT TOURS WITH NO CELL PHONES AND NO COMPUTERS ?" BOTH THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND THE WOMAN CONDUCTING THE INTERVIEW ARE STILL IN THE 30'S. IT WAS A GREAT QUESTION. INTERESTING, FUNNY AND CHALLENGING TRYING TO REMEMBER HOW IT WAS DONE. 2 1/2 HOURS LATER WE WERE LAUGHING AND ALSO IN TEARS. IT WAS THEROPY ( dear God will i ever get back ( and retain )how to spell ???) And NO...spell check doesn't work in my blogs. DANG
