Dreams Are Far Behind or What Suit Do I Wear Today? Part II

Captain America

In Part I of this series, I introduced the concept of discarding old ‘suits’ in favor of newer ones that fit better. It is a concept I came to embrace after understanding how, as a youngster, I would ‘try on for size’ many dreams.  In my youth I’ve been a baseball player, a star wide receiver for the Washington Redskins, a reluctant super hero (I even painted a Frisbee to look like the shield Captain America had at hand), a spy, and even an amazing lead guitar player and lead singer of a band that was better than the Beatles.

Of course there were many other dreams, too many to mention, but as I got older the ‘dreams’ didn’t stop. In my early adult life I wore the “husband” suit.  In my first marriage we didn’t have children until after six years; I was so ready to be a father.  My “father” suit was tailor made by then; to this day it’s my finest. Along with those suits I wore the “singer of a band” suit.  I was part of a number of bands for the next 20 years; some were regionally successful while some were just a short lived experiment.  As a solo artist I even had a couple of songs that reached limited airplay

So, as life presents new information, I have been forced to either continue with the old duds, have them re-fitted or man-up to a better suit.

Next, an amazing story…
