2014, ten years ago, was one of the most challenging year of my life. Freshly divorced, broke, new area, new place, new people, new jobs. During that Thanksgiving I picked up my current bed in Gardena for $100 thanks to a neighbor who let me borrow his truck. I was happy I could finally sleep in a real bed after months of air mattress.
2024 was one of the easiest year of my life. Everything rollin’ smooth, except for that election but I was not alone otherwise Kamala would be crip-walking in front of the mirror or something.
2004 had been nice! There was a legendary canoe trip with friends, and an invitation (from the band’s leader) to see Cameo in Germany. The road trip from France was great and that band is so bad, I’ll never forget it. I wish there was a precise book of how that they came up in NYC and what they lived through. They’re so unique.
2034: I’m envisioning being in HHH. Hopefully already in the habit of getting my parents a couple months in the Cali sun during winter instead of having them rot in rainy France. I’m seeing myself going to the store, driving in a 80s pickup truck with dad and a dog through the smooth hills of some calm east LA city.
