Going back through this thread completely and taking the time to absorb each and every encounter of a once in a lifetime experience that gave me an opportunity to be part of has clearly alerted other joyful senses from within that seem to filter their way through and simply open up.
Even the walk up through town toward the Opera House at dusk, looking in the store windows with the early signs of Christmas on the horizon sparks feelings of added elation.
Thoughts of the fun and laughter we enjoyed so much during this event suddenly get sidelined by "did this really happen or am I dreaming it all?" A most unusual sensation. Sort of like an emotional roller coaster ride that becomes reality.

It's serious news when a living legend like Gordon Lightfoot, a great composer who is still composing turns 80 years old and delivers a concert to celebrate that historic event in a classic theatre right here in his own home town. A truly amazing accomplishment it really is.
He makes it look so easy and always plays it well.
It's the Lightfoot way around and there are no stop signs in sight.
Brings to mind the opening line in "The mountains and Marian:" "I've made my peace where highways never end."
