getting to woodstock.
left my house
yesterday morning at 5:15am
flew out at 7:15am
headed to woodstock
for my brother’s upcoming wedding
very excited and happy for them
and then
in the blink of an eye
and
without a flash of lightning
all forms of travel changed
and
got a little more complicated
i’m just saying
that i now
may
need a passport
but
i will find my way
to the big show
on time
no worries
who would expect
anything less
from woodstock
after all?

Arlo Guthrie: It’s incredible.
I heard the New York Thruway’s closed.
News Reporter: Closed?
This morning we heard that they were
backed down Route 17 with an eight hour delay.
Arlo Guthrie: Right. Well, the New York Thruway’s closed.
Isn’t that far out?

detroit renaissance.
on a downtown detroit day
discovering
beautiful little gems
in so many
unexpected places
buoying our hopes
for a city
that has not given up
and is beginning
to thrive once again
in spite of
challenges
that once seemed
insurmountable.

i’ve found you’ve got to look back at the old things and see them in a new light. – john coltrane
‘it’s called a record player and it plays records that
go ’round and ’round and the music comes out,’
says one little grandie
to another
when proudly showing off
his new home in america
and
all of the treasures
both old and new
that can be found inside.
I didn't have my glasses on....
