I hope you all had a good holiday. We were able to go see some friends of the family, and have a nice evening Friday night with pals. Then I seem to have come down with 'flu like symptoms', basically feeling like death warmed over, so between being busy and sick, not much time for posting. A short list of thanks from an aging rock and roller seems in order:
For good health, I'm getting to the age that that I see how lucky I am (this weekend aside) to be in pretty good shape considering my former.... er..umm ... activities.
For family, again I don't think I've done much to deserve such a strong partner, and such a wonderful kid, but I'm grateful. I'm also perfectly happy these days to just have bit of a lie in on a Sunday morning with the cat and dog and the post spread out over the bed. That's a long way from looking for cocktail waitresses to "spread out over the bed".
For friends, I have fewer now than back in the day, but I know the friends I have now will remain so for life, and ask nothing of me. I learned long ago that it was always easy to fill a limo with "friends" as long as I supplied the limo and the blow.
For the chance to be of some use. I am lucky that I get to feel from time to time that I am doing some work that is valuable to others. I never felt that way in the music biz.
And lastly, in the immortal words of Keith Richards: " I'm just happy to be anywhere man...." It's good to alive.
