Ohhh yes!! Grandy had a dream-come-true visit to the Cape May County Park/Zoo on Monday!! We were the grownups - a mom; a dad; a baby sister; the other grandparents. And, our collective joy appeared as we experienced Owen’s curiosity, laughter, and wide-eyed observations of the animal population on display.
Dropping me back home, Casey asked Owen if he would like to come with me upstairs - I had a boogie board (as well as a bunch of other outdoor toys for him). He pushed the elevator buttons, we walked the “lohhng” hallway to my place - with Gracie meeting us inside - and, although Casey said just to bring the boogie board, Owen announced “just five”. And that’s what we left with. Owen said goodbye to “Racie”, and slid his boogie board back down the lohhng hall.

Grandy is blessed.

NOT on the way to Cape May - prior to the 1962 Highway Act (Four and more-lane interstates receiving authority and money to plow through public land; private property - imminent domain; over water; under water; through mountains, to lay these roads).

Imagine: could the need, desire, necessity to “go faster”, “get there quicker”, “accomplish more”, by using “super highways”, promoting break-neck potential, to “get there, get more - and get it quicker”, the Updates and Upgrades are constantly Updated and Upgraded. There is nothing better than MORE (isn’t that an addict’s quest)?!?

Anyway…can the concept of our super highways, beginning in 1961, parallel the internet, virtual - and, frighteningly current morph to AI?!?

While one is lunging forward at breakneck speed - in a vehicle, or on some device - one might mistakenly go right by the “WARNING” signs. Or…one might ignore flags of caution: Beware, Hazardous; Slow Down; STOP!!

One of the currently, and widely touted and used methods of treatment, is CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This, as well as a few other acronym (see?!? People are in too much of a rush to translate the initials into words that could explain, so that the person/patient/motorist/computer or Smart whatever, will gain access to the possibility that Slowing Down; Being/Staying in the Moment, are ultimately safer alternatives to Too Much Information, Real Quick, Right Now, then…NOW what/where/when?!?

SO…the photo of Dad, Bill (9!, Me (7), Kevin (5), was taken by Mom, at a Holiday Inn in Roanoke, VA. We were halfway to our family reunion in Birmingham: thanks to two-lane roads, an overnight at a Holiday Inn was always part of the itinerary. While giddy about getting to Birmingham to see our best cousins ever, my brothers and I imagined our overnight to be like being comped at a five star resort - mostly because of the pool, plus we could jump in the beds, and fill ice buckets - because we were there, we were grateful and smiling, it was a moment in time when all was well (very CBT-ish).

Leave it to a silly, very colorful yet serene picture, to help form the comparison/contrast with, and to the growth of “Super Highways”, and their potential to take us to places we maybe shouldn’t be.
Not yet.

in 1966, Revolver was released in the UK. “We were having more fun in the studio, from Revolver. Rubber Soul, as it was building up it was getting more experimental. The songs were getting better. More interesting... so that's where we were going."

I owned a white cotton skirt once, that wrapped around to a double button closure at the waist. It had a repetitive font, in Times New Roman on it - black on white - that said: THE DEVIL FINDS WORK FOR IDLE HANDS TO DO.
I wish I still had it now.

July 4th, 1927 – We celebrate the birthdate of our WPEN “Rockin’ Bird” and Philly radio legend, Joe Niagara! On a personal note, when I post this every year on this date, I find it hard to believe that Joe is no longer with us. He was a force of nature. His energy, his teen-like energy, his passion, his amazing talent, sensitivity, and personality are greatly missed. Just to tune to “950” and hear Joe say, “Helllllllo, this is Joe Niagara at WPEN!” one more time would be worth 950-million dollars!!! We ALL miss you Joe!!!!
