Parting Memory
Posted: 06/27/07
I had thought I’d write about Nathan’s Hotdogs tonight as my parting memory from my recent visit to New York City. But just as I was sitting down to blog, Earl noted that there was a special on PBS acknowledging Paul Simon’s contribution to American music. What could I do but watch?

Paul Simon is a most eclectic musician; and the program showcased his talent. It’s hard to believe he’s been making music for fifty years, which means he’s just slightly older than I am. It’s another reason to pause and watch. Hotdogs can wait for tomorrow.
