59th Street Bridge Song

One of my all-time favorite songs is Simon & Garfunkel's 59th Street Bridge Song. It always makes me happy, as most of their songs do. In fact that only S&G songs I've ever heard that I didn't like is "Sound of Silence" and "Bridge Over Troubled Waters". Those two songs were my brother's favorites as a little kid and he used to listen to them on the record player a lot. Prob was, sometimes he'd be sitting on top me after pinning me down as he listened to those songs. Or whatever. LOL

Anyway, I love the lyrics from the "Feeling Groovy" song too. And today, as I'm in the midst of another week like the last one, in which I've been working and writing and playing tennis and having dinners and am just pedal to the metal again getting almost no sleep but am pushing and pushing and pushing, I keep hearing the line:

"Slow down, you move to fast. You got to make the morning last."

My best friend from childhood, Robert Sayner, got in town today, and I'm sure we'll be out late tonight. As he put, "Bring out the Scorpions, Cody, and rock this town like a hurricane" (which, probably isn't the most appropriate phraseology right now). Oh, man. At least the guy I was supposed to play tennis against this morning at 6:30am canceled on me so I have only a group tennis match today rather than a two-a-day.

But as much as I love leaving everything I've got out on the field --- I would like a day or two of "slowing things down".

As yet another aside, my agent at CAA is also S&G's agent and, man did he hook me up with some tickets for their show a couple years ago. A girl that I was dating at the time and I had the owners box at the Meadowlands to ourselves for the show. It was a great time and quite romantic, I might add. Of course, the next day she got rather serious about getting serious and the relationship ended. Blame S&G!
