Happiest Times of our Life

 


1. one of the happiest times of my life was when a friend asked me what was the happiest time of my life, which I am going to put at the top of our list of the happiest times of my life.


2. Drinking Genesee 12 Horse Ale while lying in the grass of our back yard in Williamstown on a summers day while listening to Carla Bley's 'Sextet' on our cassette stereo with detachable speakers.


3. Writing about 7 science fiction short stories.


4. Sitting with Alphena by the St John river at the Boat landing in Van Buren, maine on a beautiful Summer's day.


5. Meeting Cathy in Rochester, NY while walking down her street listening to The Cure's 'In Between Days'.


6. Randy's Electric after day labor ticket there, singing this song in my mind with the people I see and hear in it singing along beautifully:









“But to you who are listening I say:Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” “Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.”
