Time.
I have always found the concept fascinating. How our mind will remember things, by time and feelings - ie. memories.
Memories are tricky. They compress and stretch time, at least they do for me - so some thought or image will flash in my head, and I will be with John Rode, at CKVN - but that was 43 years ago.
Then it all started to come into focus when I finally cashed my first OAS check.
My time is long, and I mean, long, gone.
That is hard and painful to accept, in a way - but life has a habit of moving on, and fast.
That means, in reality - the stuff we talk about around here, is great and all -but some of it happened over 40, sometimes over 50 years ago. So who gives a hoot?
Radio now, is NOT the medium I worked in. We didn’t have social media (*I would have killed to have had Twitter and Facebook, back in the day) - we had pieces of plastic and a telephone.
It seems almost quaint.
To that end, I have drawn the curtain on my Radio days, since I am no longer following a medium I cannot bear to listen to.
I don’t want to live in a museum, but I am pleased that RadioFan allowed me some space to blather, and so it was fun to look at CFUN, and other stations and tell you ‘what it was like’.
But that is no substitute for introducing you to the people I worked with, the live and wonderful people that filled my days with such fun and excitement.
I miss many of them terribly, and I know we will most likely not hook up again.
I am OK with that. I have my memories
To all of you, my wish is that you are Healthy and Happy, and you are as blessed as I have been.
