A Happily Married, Well Fed Bruce Springsteen Does No-one Any Good

Wealth and success and a predictable lifestyle curbs musician’s angst and their anger, and their music is the casualty.  Said another way, musicians make their best stuff when they’re hungry, looking for love, angry or all three.

Earbuds Have Taken Over My Home

I talk to one of them and they’re not aware because they can’t hear me. I have to raise my voice to get their attention and they turn around and say, “What?” and I have to ask them the same thing again. Ask them the same thing again. It’s gotten to the point that I now just plan on repeating myself whenever I talk to them. Talk to them.

My Anniversary is the Longest Day of the Year

Many years ago I asked my mother how she and my father had managed to stay married. This year marks their 52ndyear. Without so much as a pause, she said, “I decided early on that I would only love him every other day.” I laughed out loud when I heard it. She didn’t laugh. She didn’t even flinch.

I Am A Drone Parent

We’re committed to raising what we call Free Range Kids. We still keep an eye on our kids though not directly above like a helicopter parent, but way up high like a drone. We watch the kids but try not to let them know we’re watching. Kids only realize we’re watching when we strike.

People Are Good

I remember an odd statement that someone made about Alabama a few years back that has lodged in my brain. “In Alabama,” he said, “if they like you, they’ll tell you. If they don’t like you, they’ll leave you alone.”

Cold in Ontario

Earlier this afternoon when I arrived, the cab driver told me that the temperature was seven degrees and had been warming since this morning when it was four. Yes, empirically, this is considered warming. But, in the grand scheme of things, this is still horror.

Travel

The work that I do requires me to travel a pretty good bit. I remember as a much younger man thinking how cool it would be to get on a plane and see the different corners of this country and have a client help pay for it all.

Making Friends

As adults, we carefully court new friends. We try to learn a bit about them prior to spending time with them. And when do spend time together, we carefully dance around each other, hoping to not offend, hoping to tell the right story or, more likely, to not tell the wrong story.
