Happy Birthday Jer.
19 years, seems like yesterday.
You told me goodbye, how was I to know
you didn't mean goodbye, you meant please don't let me go.
I was having a high time, living the good life, well I know.

I took my Mom to see the Grateful Dead in 1990. She had a great time. Some funny things she may not remember- At the set break she decided to venture off solo into the sea of hippies. I told her to find a landmark so she could find us. There happened to be a big yellow balloon near our group, good. When she finally returned she said "I found my way to the yellow balloon and it was the damnedest thing, there was an AA meeting going on!" She had stumbled into a Wharf Rats meeting, sober Deadheads, who were at every show and marked their zone with a yellow balloon.

I also took my mom to Dylan/Dead 1987 at the Oakland Coliseum at her request! She remembers seeing some dude doing lines off the plastic folding stadium seat in front of her. She still loves me anyway. What a great Mom!

My Mom caught a ride back to Tucson with a friend of mine while I took her Isuzu, the "Day Trooper" to Denver for some shows.
On the drive she insisted my friend follow a large tour bus, convinced Jerry was in it. They took an off ramp and everything.
Jerry was not in the bus.

oh shite.
i spilled the bus.
the whole thing.
it's empty.
all the history got away.
all the echos escaped.
i'm sorry.
neal alighted.
and i don't know
where to look.
check you kits.
there's a cowboy's spirit on the loose,
and a plethora of pranksters
are in-between buses.
kreeping about the landscape,
what the hell do i do with this
empty vessel?
i'm gonna start with shag carpet.
and go from there?

Well my mom was not a Dead fan. She did however, like the Jefferson Ariplane (discovered on her own, without my interference).
Must have been the Finnish connection (Jalasjärvi & Kurikka, grandpa Jakob and grandma Hedwig) .
