Annual Monkee Bday Holiday

The annual Monkee holiday is a great opportunity to figure out how to clean out the old and make room for the new. I always try to play the episodes and/or the songs-to have them on in the background while I clean. Or frankly, just watch them again during the breaks.

On Facebook, people keep sharing pictures of both Mike and Davy. Mike is still in shape for touring and has been reading chapters from his books and becoming a bigger presence on social media. Mike keeps aging nicely-but this year (and probably every year), there is a growing gap between where Mike is . . . and where Davy would be.  With Peter's loss this year, there seems to be more of the past frozen in time. Mike and Micky still have potential to create new surprises for us. And somehow the Thing will never die.

I don't have much more to say. Other than, Happy New Year!
