I was sitting on my couch earlier.  I had sat down in heated frustration.  Many things, mostly related to my wife’s illness caused my anger.  I sat down angerly as I tried to turn a record on.  By record I mean an actual record.  It wasn’t a success.  The record I did not play was Neil Young’s ON THE BEACH.

Then it hit me.  His phone number is a palendrome.  By his I meant Ben Langford, my former partner in all sorts of crimes in New Orleans.  He happens to now be an ADA in Baton Rouge, so I can’t and won’t say anything more about our adventures in the Big Easy.  I will say that he is the most honest, loyal and the closest thing I ever had to family down south. 

Unfortunately we have not kept in touch: probably my fault.  Ben opened my eyes to so much muscially and I like to feel I did the same for him.  He also was my political opposite but was smart enough to back up his views I could never argue him down.  It’s because of him that I left the democratic party and joined the libertarians, although he is a republican. 

I miss him and I hope he does return my call.  Once I remembered his number as a palendrome all I had to do was figure out what area code he is in.  Luckily I was right on the second try.
