Time Races On

Always seems to be my theme around the holidays. Even this year when I've got most of my shopping completed and there's nothing that's way out of control in my life, I still feel the fleeting nature of time. Maybe its the rarity of daylight. Yeah, that's the ticket!

I was so amazed by the Suzy Bogguss concert at the Don Gibson Theatre on Saturday. I'd been familiar with her music from radio, but the woman in person was so much more interesting. Jeans, straight hair, straight talking too. She was just getting over a cold, but man does she have some serious lung power!

When the music started, I felt like I was transported someplace special. Like New York or LA, or like the feel of a very slick TV concert presentation in some far away location. But no, just the music hall down the street from my home or office. She also seemed to be real serious about making sure that we were in on the joke of life, as well as the more serious emotions in the songs she wrote or sang. Major talent!

Plus I had the best pizza before the concert. Chicken, Basil, Mozzarella, garlic chips, olive oil. . . The joke was that it was a group creation at Pleasant City, but it was a creation that woke up my taste buds.

See, even when the clock and calendar are racing, life can be quite fine.
