The movements to re-open the country, the art of listening, my observations on the definition of friendship, my “choice” to maintain some sense of fiscal stability instead of diving headfirst into a life in the professional arts, the multi-decade price that I’ve paid for that “choice”, and how it has come to benefit me during this crisis, one of the reasons that I went from a right wing upbringing to becoming a left-leaning adult, my experiences with the law of attraction and how the universe responds to big life choices, a little wisdom from Zach Braff’s father and how I’ve found it to be very real and very true, some thoughts about the Elton John biopic “Rocketman”, why I love walking the tightrope of a live acoustic performance, a very good deal leading to the re-release of some of my back catalog including EveningTheScore “Live at Angelus Theatre” and The Afterlight album “Chasing Stars”, the up’s and (sometimes horrible) down’s of meeting and working with your heroes, and a rewatching of “Cadillac Records” and the experience of my first viewing of “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”.
