such a beautiful wedding celebration

lots of love, and dance, and music, and friends. and food, and flowers

and that was the wedding of Fraulein Maria and Captain von Trapp in ‘The Sound of Music.”

( festive artwork that was a precursor to the night’s joyful celebration)

seeing this painting upon entering the room

where my dear friend

finally had the chance

to have the wedding she’d always wanted

delayed by two long years of pandemic

i knew it would be a memorable celebration

 that really lived up to the artist’s vision

and then some.

“all great celebrations break away from the mundane.”

Music Festivals Woodstock Music and Art Fair August 1969

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?

I heard the New York Thruway’s 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?
