The Digressor Rides Again

Abundant thanks to all those who showered this department with flowers, candy, et cetera while we were in the auto body shop for a semi-centennial tuneup. We would like to say we were relaxin' at Camarillo, but that was another time.

But now here we are bursting on the edge of summer, along with the rhododendrons and tulips and hydrangeas. (Farewell to the lovely cherry blossoms, magnolias and azaleas, which bloomed beautifully, briefly, and departed.)

We are also at the beginning of the CFL season, and the BC Lions, with such high performance, high personality players as Mike Reilly, Duron Carter and Bryan Burnham should provide much entertainment (or, as the broadcasters say, material for the highlights reel).

And today is the birthdate of Miles Davis, born May 26, 1926. You might observe the day by playing "Sketches of Spain" or "Kind of Blue" or one of the early great quintet recordings.

What would Miles say if he were still with us? We can hear his rasp now: "How'd I get so #$%^*+* old?"
