Chaz Muses on the "Big Change"

an old friend said beware of big change
at my age so i replied i was 19
emotionally and i wasn't going to change
because she was afraid for me

do we sink into the morass of 58 or do we
strive for something different to bring back
some life... hah, so what if it is freezing cold
in michigan and so what if seattle is probably
the greatest city in the country and so what
if i am shaking with cold sometimes in ann arbor at least
the cob webs will be shook up and maybe frozen
and maybe shattered but if i survive i could be sailing on
the adriatic next summer...

and, oh yeah, we'll have a guest room for you
and julia in ann arbor

Charles, are you heading to my alma mater to retire?
Tim will be there September 8-10, for business, I was thinking about accompanying him to relive my graduate days?
Let us know where you will be, Tim gets out there off and on.

...it was a great town to be a student in and the springs were spectacular after the long winters!
It is a beautiful state up north and with all the great lakes.
Bon voyage on your great adventure!
