Trip to Moscow ...

Nice time in Moscow this past weekend ... haven't been there in some time in this way.

Big city to college town
Where I am now to where I was then
Going back to see family
Remembering stories old and new
Exciting and funny
Sad and tragic
In many ways unknown
But known by me
People of generations back
Coming to life again
Some for the first time
To me

Paul I found you again
In your writing
A cup o'tay Paully me lad?
Go down to the Garden for a pint?

Then back to home
After some time spent
Home to C
Home to R, T and CJB
Presents in hand for them
Treasures in hand for me

"Turning 50 ...."

Thinking back on the great weekend I had with my buddies Tom, Steve,Mark,Kim and Dave three weekends back on Case Inlet ... nice time, nice friends, nice tunes, nice cigars, nice campfire, nice beach, nice music, nice food, nice scenery.


Thanks Mark for hosting at your place. Thanks all for the great cycling jersey ... looks great and my wife loves it. My goal is to still fit into it when I turn 70!





Steve's lyrics to the "Turning 5" song summed up the time ...

"And I have friends who care about me
They're the best I've ever had
And they always stand beside me whenever times go bad
And I love to take those photographs
I love the story's that they tell
I'll be showing them and telling tales
Until I hear the final bell
Turning 50"



Appreciate your friendship
-Dennis
