Somewhere in a 1970's bedtime

Oh boy blue.
Sometimes, I would simply stare at the print of The Three Musicians and wonder about the living man who wore berets - why did he paint that way - why did it make me feel good just to look at something that simple and that complex? Afterall, it was just a bunch of lines and color messed around on a piece of paper, and it was more. When I listened to O'Brien on WCFL in the days of AM, those radio waves bounced around the ionosphere at night and somehow made it all the way to the Ohio Valley - not just for me, though. I'd wonder how far Chicago was and just how windy a Windy City could really be. Were folks walking around with wind-broken umbrellas and did the ladies sport upturned Marilyn Monroe dresses? Did the litter scatter around the streets in the beauty of wind devils or was this simply a capricious fancy? I'd pull down my NASA FACTS brochures from the closet and look at pictures of the Gemini, the Apollo and of rovers and probes.
