I went up to Seattle to hang out and spin records at Lo_Fi for Jason this weekend. I saw Mat, Taryn, Josh and some other friends. It was a nice break from the flow, I really enjoyed seeing my friends, and playing records. I am amazed at the kindness, hospitality and friendship the people I know have to offer. I am so lucky, and very grateful. It makes me want to be a better man, and do better in my life.
This cross roads is interesting, and I am blessed to be surrounded by love and people who are willing to show up and stand calmly beside me while i doubt, worry, wonder, stumble, and pick myself back up off the ground.
Thank you!

Having good friends is the best thing I have ever experienced. When I think of what I want to be when I grow up, what I want to have accomplished in this life….having good friends that stand by me and that I have the priveledge of standing by is the thing I take the most satisfaction from.

As Yeats put it (and I once couldn’t get through giving this as a toast to some of mine, at my birthday party at the Madonna Inn without totally choking up):
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Will I ever know- holding my hands holding me up- telling me that if I needed to get high, then obviously I might need a little more personal work. Will I ever know- do you remember Carl? Why does it really matter to know. I have already said thankyou. This soul, this writer today is just as mesmerizing- in contrast to my suburban existance. Memorial day was a splendid holiday- a dry sunny 84. The pool was clean, moist, cool, the company was divine. I saw some of my friends with their newborn baby girl. It was very sweet. It was a very sweet day. My daughter is quite the swimmer. She is 5 years old. I hope whoever you are whether you were once my friend or some strange anonymous disconnect: that god continues to walk with you.
