Put Me On A Highway And Show Me A Sign

 July 28, 2023

   Thank god I married a therapist. How else would I know I am dealing with End of Life Issues? Randy Meisner of Eagles (they always eschewed the The) died a couple days ago at age 77. He is famous for singing the high falsetto lead on "Take It To The Limit," and late in the career of the band, he got panic attacks about singing the song and not being able to hit those high notes and so the band would get mad at him backstage, because the song was a natural encore exclamation point to the entire flippin' show and this pressure alone would bring on the panic attacks and he later quit the band, and man, I don't want to have to deal with THOSE issues.

   But here I am (stuck in the middle with you).

   Which is a long winded way of saying, today Kathy Sue and I have been married for 44 years. Damn, girlfriend. How in the hell did we ever pull this off? Well, for one thing we took it to the limit.

"You know I've always been a dreamer (spent my life running round)
And it's so hard to change
Can't seem to settle down
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out and turning out the same
So put me on a highway
Show me a sign
Take it to the limit
One more time."

—Eagles, Take It To The Limit
