I Wanna Go Back by Eddie Money and Looking At Change

Carl Setzer

Perhaps it’s the planning for my son to start high-school, perhaps it’s just hitting the 50s, actually add this to all the other changes going on in my life right now and this song has been speaking to me.

It’s been one of my favorite 80s tunes since it hit the airwaves way-the-heck-back-in-the-day.  Yet it’s meaning has evolved. I guess that should be a “no duh”, but, there you go.

Carl Setzer

I’ve spent the past few hours creating a presentation for a friend’s memorial service. A full range of emotions accompanied.

Professionalism is one of my core values. Approaching even the most difficult things with calm competency is something I strive for.

The pictures, though…his kids…so young. Reminding of my birth-mother’s death when I was 15. Haunting me.

For many of the services I’ve worked, my composure held well. I know, though, this one will be hard. Even though sad weeping and wailing is not what he wanted. I get that. But, you know, my humanity….
