Phantasmic Links 7.28.08

My dad, nearing 80, seems to suddenly have game. We get to New Jersey on Saturday for a feast, and as we're walking from the train station I hear a young female voice ask, “Where's the party?” I turn and two beautiful young ladies are talking to the old man. I, still a good fifty years from anything remotely resembling game, reply with the name of the church we're going to. “Oh...well, have a good day.” she replied. As we continued on our way, I realized I should have answered her with something like, “Wherever you are, baby,” but then I never could think on my feet. Six hours later, as I stood on a train back to Manhattan gripping a bar, I glanced down the car and see that the old man found a seat, literally surrounded by beautiful girls. I glanced at some of the other musicians on the train who were just grinning. The little old guy just sat looking tired after a long day, oblivious to what was around him. It gives me hope for my future, but it's ironic that by the time girls notice me I might be too old to notice them. Such is my life. In other news, here are this week's PHANTASMIC LINKS :
