Wherein I wonder if “living each day like it’s your last” is a good idea, preach about learning to enjoy failure, & get snubbed by my favorite pigeon.

Then I share a one take live recording of song I wrote this morning about New Year’s Day called “Same Old Me”

The middle B key buzzes.

I’m no Whitney Houston.

No overdubs.

No refunds.

your silly little game

as years slip away.

I ain’t selling you solutions,

or buying new delusions,

there will be no resolution

to change my ways.
