Let's see...

Thirty years ago I was about to turn 21. I was living with my first "live-in" girlfriend who would break my heart and change my life two years later. I was doing something at the university, but can hardly remember what. M'lady and I were "professional kite makers" selling our wares at craft fairs up and down the east coast. We lived by that wisest of old adages, "dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope."

30 years ago I didn't have an inkling of where I would be today, and have learned that "surprise" is one of the things I love best about Life.

30 years ago I was proud of the fact that all my worldly posessions--including my dog--could fit into a Volvo 122S and still have room for a rider. Now I need a truck.

30 years ago and I was always "in training" for my next marathon. Today I always look for the elevator or escalator before even thinking about taking the stairs.

30 years ago I had a 30 inch waist and 32 inch inseam. Now the inseam is the same, but the waist is 42!

30 years ago I had a hard on most of the day. Now...well...let's say I'm less easily distracted.

30 years is a long time.

Aloha,
Maddog

Yep....

Thirty years ago is both a lifetime and yet a mere wink in time....

What the hell was I doin' 30 years ago???

Hmmmm....lemme see...1974...holy shit! I was a gangly high school freshman who had just smoked his first joint. LOL!

Was drivin' my very first vehicle. (a beat up '66 Chevy shortbox) Listenin' to rock & roll. Tryin' my best to get laid. (wouldn't happen for another year, and was over waaaay too quick) And I was wonderin' how the hell I was ever gonna get out of the little hick town I grew up in to go out and "see the world".

30 years later...still drive a beat up truck. Still listen to rock & roll. Get laid whenever the wife lets me.

And I've seen a damn good chunk of the world, and decided that small town life ain't so bad.

Good to see you dank...hope your back is better.
