Today, the 51st day of 2016, was my dad's 72nd birthday. But there were many other reasons for me to note the passage of time on 2/20/16. Alexa and her friends played in the Penn Band's Honor Band at the Palestra...making me realize, once again, that high school (and then college) are on the horizon. I spoke with a fellow Band alumna, who has questions for me because her son is starting at Penn in the Fall. Along with the basketball ceremonies this week, today was a capstone of all the different changes in our lives that are coming, some a lot sooner than others, but all coming nonetheless. Passages of time, Time Passages, makes me think of Al Stewart and that makes me think of my dad. I used to listen to his albums all the time and Al Stewart was in the collection. Lastly, as we got back from the game, we looked into the sky and saw the bright moon! Another connection to my dad, who loves the moon and likely has pics of tonight's beauty on his FB page tonight. Happy Birthday, Dad!
