5/20/2015 is the first non-palindromic date in a while....and the 140th day of 2015. And it will end, in a few minutes, with me watching the last show of David Letterman's late night career. And, although not all of my friends are Dave Letterman kind of folks, I am. And I will miss him and his Top Ten Lists and his appreciation for musical greatness and his launching of comedic careers. But, I realized this weekend, that Dave also connects me to my college years. We would gather around a TV in one of our Hill House rooms and watch Dave, who was cutting edge at that time. And, yes, some of that edge is gone, but I will miss Kid Scientists, and Piedmont Bird Calls, and Stupid Human and Pet Tricks, and Jack Hanna, and and and....I appreciate the memories and connections Dave has given me - thanks Dave!
