Places to remember

Unless you have lived under a rock for the last 50 years, you know who these guys are. The British Invasion in the 60s fomented an entirely different attitude about life and how we treat each other and the world around us. One of the songs I find particularly interesting is In My Life from the Rubber Soul album. It starts out like this:

There are places I'll remember

All my life, though some have changed

Some forever, not for better

Some have gone and some remain

All this places have their moments

With lovers and friends I still can recall

Some are dead and some are living

In my life, I've loved them all

Is it possible to love a place? What is it about that place that makes it so meaningful? Certainly the people you were with make a place important, the activities, the times we have can never be replaced. But there is a power associated with a particular place that helps shape us. I have mentioned before that people are affected by the houses they never enter, the streets they see but never travel, the fields and forests that remain full of intrigue and mystery.

Here in Mont Belvieu we have the chance to do it right. I hope we take advantage of this chance. I hope I am able to help.

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life, I love you more

In my life-- I love you more

PS - I really love the Volkswagen Bug in the picture above. If anyone has one that they would like to donate to the "Get Bill to Work in Style" cause, I'd appreciate it. :-)
