There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne

Well not really, maybe later.

When attempting to get this blog formatted over the last couple of days, I discovered you could add music to it. After much thought I decided on Bob Dylan's 'Things Have Changed'. It was the theme song to the movie 'The Wonder Boys'. I won't go into a movie review here, but it's a movie you should check out. It starred Michael Douglas, Toby McGuire, and the great Robert Downey Jr.

Anyway, I liked the song from the start. It appealed to me at my age and where I was in my life. Zimmy reminds us in his uniquely Dylanesque style that 'people are crazy and times are strange'. Well ain't that the truth. Taking a look back he states, 'I used to care but, things have changed'. I can relate to that. As I've grown older, things I used to care a lot about, I no longer do. I can't really explain why, other than I used to care, but things have changed. I wish I could have written a song about it.

Any of us who have made it to their 50's know all about walkin '40 miles of bad road', probably more. However many miles you've walked, whether you're 20, 30, 40, or in my case 53, you know it's a long walk and you get tired, and no matter how long you walk, you never 'get as far away from myself, as I can'.

Oh well, it's a great song, and Bob takes us all on his journey in a way, only he can. All I know is that in life there goes a lot of water under the bridge, and other stuff too.

So don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through.
