    I went out walking the other day Seen a little girl crying along the way She'd been hurt so bad said she'd never love again Someday your crying girl will end And you'll find once again Two hearts are better than one Two hearts girl get the job done Two hearts are better than one Once I spent my time playing tough guy scenes But I was living in a world of childish dreams Someday these childish dreams must end To become a man and grow up to dream again Now I believe in the end Two hearts are better than one Two hearts girl get the job done Two hearts are better than one Sometimes it might seem like it was planned for you to roam empty hearted through this land Though the world turns you hard and cold There's one thing mister, that I know That's if you think your heart is stone And that you're rough enough to whip this world alone Alone buddy there ain't no peace of mind That's why I'll keep searching till I find my special one Two hearts are better than one Two hearts girl get the job done Two hearts are better than one

    sunshine daydream indeed
    my son attended Sunday night with me. He is 28, so not a "kid" (tho he'll always be my baby)...anyway, he is a veteran of many, many festivals, concerts, etc, has hitchhiked around the US multiple times ....he and friends toured with Furthur in in 2010 in a school bus they converted to run on veggie oil...I give you the background so you can understand the context that he knows what he knows and is not a rookie...anyway, towards the end of Sunday night...he looks at me with tears in his eyes and asks..."Were they all like this?" Of course he meant the music; but also the vibe, the familial feeling in the crowd, the total bliss in the crowd even knowing we had maybe 2 more songs before we would never hear this band again. He was just completely in awe, as we all were. I think he and I made a very special connection that night. I thank you and the rest of the 70K there, and the millions not there, who helped to make this night so special.

I am convinced 1/2 the staff are former, current, and/or closet deadheads or at least have affinity for the thoughts and feelings. WSJ weekend edition has probably had more articles on the d e ad in the last 20 yrs than rolling stone. although I stopped reading RS long ago. I discovered WSP many years ago via an article on their marketing practices being so close to the Dead's...incessant touring, free taping, loose controls on copyrighted images, etc. Etc. Or that may be anti marketing...anyway I have found WSJ to be sympatico. Ahhh the weekend. ... Golf, craft beer fest in Ft Worth On Saturday. Then on Sunday celebrate the wonderul mom of my 2 great kids.don't forget mothers day because Momma tried!

I think mostly Texas beers and aleS. North Texas has had quite a renaissance in craft brewing in the last 5 years as laws have caught up with rest of US. Deep Elum, Peticolas,community, Martin house....just a few of really good community of local brewers. Can't wait.

I am old!!!Yet agaiin it is a weekend night, and I am the only here!!!! Dark Star is playing 45 minutes away,.. right now,...and I am not there, because I am OLD!!!! I have to work tomorrow again,.....Responsibility is a Heeaavy Responsibility!!!!,....I Guess! Worse of all is the thought that "The Boys"are probably over here on the East Coast, or some of them might be,... anyway the possibilites of a "guest Appoearance" at Penn's Peak tonight, make me wish I had gone! I think I will definitely make an effort to get there tomorrow, fortunately it's their first two night run at the venue.

I've seen them dozens of times. But I'm going 7/2 in part for that reason - high probability of special guest appearances. Most of them (Donna included) have previously shown up as unannounced guests at one time or another.

I have seen them many times, which is in part, why I chose to work tomorrow, (It seems likely to happen again), but, I am regretting it fiercely!!! On Tthe other hand, think I may soon refrain from listening to Grateful Dead music all together until 6/27 so it will be that much bettter to hear it in a stadium!!! I know!!!! who am I kidding??? never gonna happen,..but I have contemplated.

84 brews. several bands. food trucks. plenty of rain forecast. lots of Texas brews but also some European and other American breweries.Got 18 holes of golf in this a.m. between the raindrops. All in all shaping up to be a pretty, pretty good day. My son surprised me with 3-29-90 release. Branford Marsallis (sp?) guest on many songs. Really good...I actually had not heard so many with Marsallis before. I like it.

Don't make mine FARE thee WELL DONE.Had a little mother and son time today, he let me show him some grateful dead which is what I said I wanted to do With him "For mothers day" Showed him 20 minutes of the tie dyed documemtary and the opening animation of the grateful dead movie. my jaw dropped when he called it trippy (he's 12)! He asked lots of good questions like what was the wall of sound, where did the band get its name, and what were the acid Tests. Best Mother's Day- ever.

Stranger stopping strangers. Just to shake their hand. It will happen, during the coruse of our time in Chicago, that Daydreamers will run into each other (even if it is not on a spreadsheet). They will greet each other, but not know the other’s name. After declaring “I am [SD name here], and I miss Jerry”, there will be a warm embrace. Ah, such a touching, timeless scene. Passersby will take note and will remember seeing that embrace by strangers, who yet seemed to know each other somehow. Timeless.
