Paradise by the Lake Summerfest 2017

Yes, we are going again.  Summerfest Milwaukee will be the destination for the afternoon and evening.  We hope to experience the music  of Dennis DeYoung and Styx at 10PM tonight.  The atmospherics will crackle with the electricity of sensuality, of reality, of life and death as DeYoung performs his lyrics of Lady, and Come Sail Away.  Are we not living and dying with each passing moment?  We are so distracted by the mundane that we fail to notice that stupendous privilege, the deliciousness of being conscious and alive.  Just a small sliver of Nature is self conscious.  And we are the apex of that fortunate few.  Those soaring anthemic melodies, keyboard runs, guitar power chords, and the marvelous lyrics are an appeal to pay attention, wake up to the wonder of your life.

I am looking forward to being there.
