Center Aisle

How many times does your average person take claim to the center aisle in their livesY The big occasion that comes to mind is the wedding where we get to take center stage for a brief period of time. After that, we get to share the center aisle with everyone else as we come and go to all those various events we attend over a lifetime. I remember being 18 years old and taking this girl I was madly in love with on a date to see Ray Charles and B.B. King at the old Circle Star Theater in Redwood City CA. The theater had one of those revolving stages and one of the aisles was designated as Center Aisle because this is where the stars entered the theater and made their way to the stage. So I had these great tickets, center aisle on the row. Man was I living high. It was a great concert and I even got to shake Ray Charles hand as he made his way down the aisle. Of course, he didn t have the slightest idea who s hand he was shaking. But in the end it came for naught. My date broke my heart and married someone else. i guess center aisle ain t all it s cracked up to be. FYI this picture was taken in Stanford Memorial Chapel on the Stanford University Campus. The Steve Jobs memorial service was held here. Not that I was invited or anything. Come to think of it, that s probably the next time I ll be able to solely occupy the center aisle myself. So much to look forward to. A much better center aisle experience can be had on black.
