Sometime around 1965

My friend John Close reminded me that my last entry was sometime around 1965. Let’s think about this…

In 1965 the Beatles released their “Help” album (great song by the way) and the Beach Boys released their “Beach Boys Party!” album. Montreal won the Stanley Cup, and Vonda Kay Van Dyke was crowned Miss America. Rhodesia declared its independence from Britain, and Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested during a demonstration against voter-registration rules.

2006...Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie hook up. Canada elects Conservative Prime minister Stephen Harper - the first time in 12 years that a conservative will lead the country. Bin Laden warns the US of an attack by al Qaeda…he also extends a truce. My friend Dave Turner (Davf) goes touring with the African Children’s Choir, my grandparents celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, and I, use my first power tool.

Whew, okay, now that I’m all caught up I’ll write again soon. Peace out to all my brothas from otha mothas.

And Davf, thanks for the phone call - I miss you man.
