The more things change, the more they stay the same or As time goes by

Yesterday was my birthday, so my wife Bonnie and the kids made it a special weekend.  I spent all day with the kids yesterday doing things and coaching them in Soccer today.  Last night Bonnie and I went out with our friends David and Leisa for dinner and then to see Peter Frampton in concert at the Bank Atlantic Center's Frank Sinatra Theatre.  We went to the Bone Fish Grill, but had to get there early in order to be out in time for the concert.  Now going to dinner early on a Saturday night in South Florida is a trip in and of itself.  At some level, I was thinking great, is this what it means to be my age, dining with the early bird crowd in Florida. Where did the years go, is life over as I know it? 

After dinner we went down to the arena and saw Peter Frampton.  It was about 25 or so years ago that I saw Frampton at Madison Square Garden.  Well he doesn't look the same.  The long flowing hair is gone replaced by a very thin head of gray hair.  But then again, who am I to talk, my hair is not what it was 25 years ago either.  However, Peter Frampton is still a great musician and entertainer.  We all had a great time, singing all of his old hits from Frampton Comes Alive (or as he calls it, that double album that you used to use to clean seeds (extra bonus points if you smile remembering that)), as well as listening to a few songs from his new CD.  It made me realize that I may not be 20 years old anymore, but life is as sweet as ever.  With my family and friends, loving what I do for work, I have much to be grateful for.  I am looking forward to more concerts and good times as the years go on.  Rock on! Here is some You tube video from Peter Frampton on this present tour.
