Dan Hicks died today

Aged 74 years,

the day previous

Bernie Sanders,

also 74,

debated his rival for the Democratic Presidential nomination.

How strange and mysterious

and ironic

is life’s ebb and flow.

Two men

of similar age:

One whose life force has departed,

the other whose energy appears boundless.

One whose song, now silenced,

will live on only in recordings;

the other, whose voice, extending way beyond the horizon,

still has life.

One whose work is finished,

the other, embarking on a great adventure,

still has work to do

before his time is done.

Hi Greg,

We just finished the last of the gingerbread slugs you shared with us. What a fitting, and delicious, way to honor your sister. Thanks for sharing them. Hope you’re keeping avalanche-free over there. Please give our regards to Cathy.
