- Transcription
- This casual meeting with the men who I met & Jeff Forney is written about in detail in my typed journal. I was 54 years old at the time and guess that he was 15-20 years younger. Go back to 2006 to read and it left me with memories of the "golden in time" moments I've experienced in NYC. With all sadness at any walk or doubt, roads that taken, little dwellings built in vain. Covid-19 leaves us with a lot of time for reflection. And this begins to sound like the quarterback stuck in past cycles.
