1 I worked the final music concert last night.
2 Awesome stuff.
3 We had the appearance for the first time in the school's history of a full orchestra, which blew everyone out of the water.
4 I can't even begin to tell you how unutterably amazing the music was. I'm astounded that music even exists if we are the result of some cosmic explosion or whatever.
5 If that's the case, somebodduh somewhere needs to 'splain a few things to me.
6 How is it that music can be so tremendously moving that 600 people stand in thunderous approval when it lands?
7 Why does math work?
8 Why are there so many things that are intrinsically pleasing, such as first thing in the morning, or 3 a.m.?
9 It's all too much, too much.
10 Maybe I've just been lucky.
11 I've had a few bad hands dealt, but overall, I've been REALLY lucky with the life I've been given.
12 I always saw it as a gift, and a learning process.
13 I also learned years ago about the cosmic significance of it all. You don't have 2900 coincidences, sunrises, smiles, tears, and faces of great friends and family and not realize that this simply ain't all of it.
14 I don't know what the ultimate joke is, but I do know that I'm getting continually schooled in the exectation of its coming.
15 Goin' deep here on a Fridee!
16 I've just been lucky.
17 There is a partial reason. My Dad crashed in an airplane when I was but a wee lad, and lived. He has cheated the reaper on more occasions than I'd care to mention. And he has survived all of it.
18 One year, we got him a tractor hat that said on it, "Mr. Lucky".
19 He also likes going up to the clubs in Reno and Tahoe. In fact, when his plane went down, he was flying up to Reno to get even more lucky!
20 Anyway, I'm the first son of Mr. Lucky.
21 I count me blessin's every single day.
22 It's nice, don'tcha know.
23 I sing this afternoon at 4. I'll be singing Frank Sinatra's Young at Heart to a buncha people who need that lesson.
24 Wish me luck.
25 I am, after all, the first son of Mr. Lucky.
26 Look up and smile this weekend.
27 You're luckier than you think.
28 Peace.
