“It was early morning yesterday, I was up before the dawn.
And I really have enjoyed my stay, but I must be moving on.”
I went running with my friend Tim this morning for the first time in the 43 years we have known each other. Recalling the countless times we have had breakfast together, after all nighters studying for finals, or shooting up around the campfire over coffee, or after driving east, all night from Rushmore to see the rising sun kiss the midwest horizon before us.
As we came around a bend in the trail, two women appear to our left, squatting against a tree relieving themselves. I waved as we went by saying good morning. “You see Tim, running is fun.”
Breakfast in America is one of a thousand soundtrax that invoke my history with you Tim. You have been there at every turn in my life. And now that yours is over, I’m going to have to find my own way through these woods. Here’s the thing. As scary as that seems, I have a pretty good sense of where I’m going, thanks to you, and I’ll always love you for that, and for being my brother and my friend.
