The 9 days of Jerry ended yesterday

[twirlgrrl]

It all rolls into one
And nothing comes for free
There's nothing you can hold for very long
And when you hear that song
Come crying on the wind
It seems like all this life was just a dream

I almost posted yesterday that it was the 13-year anniversary of his passing. I'm going to say something in my journal about it today. Hard to believe. The day it happened I was sleeping and my wasband woke me up saying Bean Girl was on the phone with something urgent. What a sad sad day. Deadheads in Seattle converged at the Seattle Center (the flag pavilion, near the space needle) just like fans had done had one plus year earlier when Kurt Cobain died.

While I am not much of a deadhead (ok, hardly at all, there's only a few songs I liked -- which is amusing cause looking at me, everyone always thinks I'm a deadhead, the hippy/ boho genes run strong in my family) my aunt was. And the dead truly were life-changing for so many.

May Jerry's memory be a blessing for peace.

Also, your icon is tripping me OUT.

We spent a the afternoon in a park with the boys and during lunch my pod choose to play "When the Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" and "Touch of Grey". I thought this was kinda funny as they are probably one of the least known and one of the most ubiquitous of all his recordings.

Without a doubt almost all of my very best moments before becoming a parent happened while at his feet grinning like a fool or running wild through the Williamsburg night with my friends singing along.

My eight year old always refers to him as Unca Jerry and when Isaiah gets bigger he will too.

I was here in New Orleans on that day. The next day I got Cats on my shoulder to always remind me of him and of those days. I have never felt the urge to connect with other Heads since then. It was really just all about Jerry to me.
