An Explorer's View of Life

"When I finish my last injection of chemo, on Thursday February 18th at about 2pm Eastern Standard Time, I'm also ringing that damn bell!

As loud and as long as I can!

My cancer may not be cured. I may find myself back there again sometime, but for now, at least, I'm declaring victory. After all, you don't have to win the whole war before celebrating victory in battle."

..

dear Readers,
please join us at 2pm as we ring a bell for all those patients who are fighting against
impossible odds to get well.

hey, as Arlo Guthrie Would Say "what we got here is a Movement, yes sirree,
a movement: Barry's Ring-a-Bell for Triumph Over Impossible Odds Movement.

we were a young boy.

this evening changed our lives.

this is not just a cliche. we had no way of knowing it then,
but these four lads with their moppet hairstyle and their R&B
rockin' were giving us exactly what we needed: a way to
remake our adolescent rebelliousness into a utopian vision
of a better world.

we didn't know this, and the fab four probably didn't either.

but, with time it became an undeniable truth: the Beatles
fueled the sixties and the short burst of progressive advances
which followed.

and for this, February 9th 1964 on the Ed Sullivan Show
remains a special memory.
