Vivid, profound and concise.

Funny how good things can happen for some of us isn’t it?

Life is funny like that.

I was never really an Elvis fan but I remember what I was doing the day he died.

My wife and I were on a car trip traveling from San Diego up the Pacific Coast Highway to the Canadian border.

I was a marathon runner back then and was on a long run on the highway near where we were camping in Oregon.

I stopped for a couple of minutes at an overview area to look out over the Pacific Ocean.

A couple were stopped in their car to look too and told me they had just heard on the radio that Elvis was dead.

It's moments like that that stick with you.
