This has been my best travel quote, which I have used often with my best travel friend, Mike, as we have traveled around the world. He is also a small town guy, from Los Banos, CA. I grew up in Kingsburg, CA, then a small mostly Swedish-American hamlet of 3,000 people. Here is the quote: “Not too bad for a couple of simple farm boys from the country…….”
But this is a close second, in one of my favorite songs, “The Boxer’ by Paul Simon:
Now the years are rolling by me
They are rocking evenly
And I am older than I once was
And younger than I’ll be
But that’s not unusual
No, it isn’t strange
After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same
After changes we are
More or less the same.
They are rocking evenly
And I am older than I once was
And younger than I’ll be
But that’s not unusual
No, it isn’t strange
After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same
After changes we are
More or less the same.
