Out of the blue. The turkey digests. I digest, too. I kind of like the idea of North America celebrating two Thanksgivings. But really, it’s time to think Halloween.
I want the biggest pumpkin on steroids, and I want to name it. I want to call my pumpkin Arnold Schwarzenegger. Just wait, it’ll govern Brewington in no time.
I’m ready. The kids are also ready. They’re listening to music from the 1970s. It’s scary to think that was 50 years ago. Yeah, kids today are listening to music from the 1970s, which is a little like someone living in 1970 listening to music from the 1920s. Think about that enormous stretch of time. The world was a completely different place, and the sounds of one generation were already becoming history to the next.
Back in the 1920s, recorded music was still in its early days, with acoustic recordings and 78 rpm records rather than the high-quality recordings we enjoy today. There was no digital sound, no CDs, and certainly no streaming. It’s amazing to think that the music of the 1970s, which still feels familiar to some of us, is now as distant to young listeners as the music of the Roaring Twenties was to people living in the 1970s.
AM 2200 played a lot of old music, but not Led Zeppelin. King Pencil Dick loved Zeppelin. Just try to get around that handle. King Pencil Dick is a mouthful.

It seems like everyone’s writing a journal. Even my son is writing a journal. The journal might be the next best thing for writers. But I’m retired. No more motorcycle diaries or shit like that. I’m done, but still it’s fun. It seems like everyone has a podcast. They’re everywhere.
It seems like there’s never enough time to do everything. The days pass, the months disappear, and before we know it, years have gone by, decades, maybe even a millennium. There are things we still want to see, hear, create, and experience, but time keeps moving whether we’re ready or not. The older we get, the more we realize that time is precious, and no matter how much we try to accomplish, there’s always something undone.
