received a Save the Date announcement from the son of a friend of his

                                                                            very thoughtful

although the wedding was being held back East

he was West

              inside ten miles as a bird flies of the Pacific Ocean

a destination wedding

                          when did that become a thing

for that matter when did bachelor and bachelorette parties become twothree-day weekends

not A wedding shower  numerous showers

but that said

               its been a long time since he was or had single friends widows widowers dont count

and in that vein

                  when was the last time he attended a funeral when a body was buried

Music Maestro If a body meets a body comin’ through the rye If a body kiss a body need a body cry Every lassie has her laddie  None they say have I  Yet all the lads that smile at me when comin’ through the rye . . .

                                                                                                           thennot missing

a beat maestro changed up the tempo meted it with his carbonfiber ivoryhandled baton  King of the Road

                                                                                                                he chuckled

began singing I’m a man of means by no means . . .

   ironic

there are only 2 destinations a year he attends

                                                   otherwise he hasnt time
