@ElleGray The important thing is you’re here to tell us you’ll probably just wiggle around. 😉

Something from my favorite novelist I’ve thought about often since my oldest son Ryan was KIA in Iraq nearly 18 years ago and it tends to get a little more so with Memorial Day coming up along with what would have been his 38th birthday on 1 June this year.

I love this. And not just because I happen to have a Retriever.

The first Bob Dylan tune I recall hearing as a nine year old and soon after, I heard “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door.” I was hooked.

In 2016, I raised money for a bench for my oldest boy Ryan on the Persian Gulf tribute at The Highground Veterans Memorial Park in Neillsville, Wisconsin. The tribute was dedicated on 23 July, 2016, the 10th anniversary of the final time I ever heard my son say “I love you, dad” when he called from Scania, Iraq. He was KIA about a week later and two weeks from coming home. Hug those close to you. As Tom Cochrane sang “You never can tell when you might check out.”

I’d take one. Sure af wouldn’t shoot it for misbehaving. Hell, Jagger got into one of Allie’s litter boxes and a gate was put up so he couldn’t anymore. Problem solved!

Who did NOT do this back in the day? Hell, I still have some of the tapes I put together from 30, 40 years ago and play ‘em in the fully functioning factory cassette deck of my ‘93 Ford F-150 XLT pickemup truck.

This evening’s “live” selection here on deck is one of my favorite Stones tunes from 1965. I won’t get to see ‘em on tour this year but grateful I’ve had the chance (October of ‘89) to have done so. Turns out Jagger likes the Stones. Go figure. 😎
