Why Can't Every Day Be Your Best Day?

ThisIsOurHey
DayVille



Back in the days of 'The Three Buskateers', one of our best get going songs was Mic Christopher's 'Heyday'.

And as Mr. Christopher once said, as a response to all the talk about bands and musicians only being  great back in their 'Heyday', he reckoned that, regardless, every single day can be your best day.

Anyway....

Today has most definitely not been one of my best of days so far.

I have been away all week hanging around in a dingy science-geek bunker not far from Niagra Falls arguing and fighting about polarity protein complexes, actomyosin contractility, and the double-edged sword that is super-resolution microscopy.

And half-way through the week I had to hightail it up to Ottawa for matters best left undiscussed, if only to prevent the weeping and gnashing of teeth that will ensue if I even begin to describe to you what has become of our national program for funding fundamental biomedical research in this country.

And now?

Well...

After flying up and down the QEW that runs along the inside edge of Southern Ontario's Golden Horseshoe for most of the day getting various geeks to their many varied destinations in an underpowered rental car, I am now sitting in the madness of Pearson Airport's Terminal 3 late on a Friday afternoon.

And, just in case you haven't been here lately, Terminal 3 is most definitely not the new Pearson.

The worst part about all of this?

I have not touched a stringed-instrument for almost an entire week.

The image at the top of the post is of me and the two E's quite a few years ago now.

It was taken by C.

Which, of course, is why she is not in the shot (will have to make it up to her somehow).

Long story short....The photo was taken on one of the best days I can remember.

We were camping in the VW (notso)Mirobus along the edge of a lake in the Okanagan.

And it was super summer hot.

And we spent almost the entire day getting in and out of the water.

And singing.

And playing.

And all that.

****

I will be home before midnight this evening.

Both E's will be there.

I will play the guitar before I sleep.

So.

There is still time for this to be another 'Heyday'...

The bit of audio above  is from a video...It was taken up at the top of Q&E Park one evening and was sneakily taken by E....I had no idea she was doing it, or that she was singing, really (she was a ways behind me)...I was just noodling...She was really doing her thing.
Back when Bigger E. was still in high school and littler e. was still actually little 'Buskateering' was something we invented whereby we showed up at various parks and lakes and seasides to play our music for awhile....A bunch of our outings are video-archived....Here.
