The human condition in all its wonder is found on display at a music festival like Riverbend. All types are represented bere. People of all sizes are dressed in interesting fashions. They are in varied states of consciousness and sobriety. People watching at its very best in a place like this. Diversity is the rule not the exception.

Chances are that you will run into someone you know from some part of your life. It is not a place for an introvert who isn’t good in a crowd. For some who thrive in this environment It’s all in the fun.

Hey, Hey It’s Friday Gang!

fridayYou know what day it is, well you know because it’s in the title of this post. Have a swell day good people. The weekend is upon us. Have a great one!

National Best Friends Day….It’s OK Not To Be A Part Of That

Today is National Best Friend Day but it’s OK not to have a best friend. My spouse is my friend but not my bestie, that is a different sort of relationship that is way more intimate and special. I have always thought friendships are tough and demanding and in this temporal world we live in there is a lot of life transitions that define what and how long friendship is. I think there is pressure to maintain a platonic partnership like that because of the time and energy it takes. Some tandems have made it work over the years but others have gone their separate ways. It’s OK that I don’t have one. There is no sob story there. It is just the reality of my life.

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

It’s getting closer to Friday, but first have a great Wednesday.

Rock on good people, lets do this!

Tunes Tuesday – Bon Jovi – Livin’ On A Prayer

This song tells a story of a couple who are going through tough times. I think the central message of living on a prayer is what many experience as daily life. Prayer and persistence through trials can make the difference. Bon Jovi released this in 1986 and he sounds as good today as he did back then.
