Nailed it again! And Thank You for the invite to the dance! I’m 3/4 dead. Guess I’m going to get on that flight to Scotland-solo, wearing black lipstick and sporting leopard wedgie!😂

Passes over six bottles of half used manic panic, a stack of well loved CDs that might be scratched (will definitely skip) and a set of car keys. The tank is full, the music is lit, and the dye might set your hair on fire. You drive. I'll get the snacks. Remember to put your foot to the floor.

Doesn't matter if we're coasting down a low grade hill or rocketing up a mountain, we all get there at our own pace friend.

You got this.

Ok, I need to know the year of that Syracuse concert because I also saw Tori in Syracuse circa 2003 (I think)…

I wish you the extravagance of existence you repeatedly appear to be discovering!

I will, however, warn you that one’s genetics seem to play a larger role than most of us want to recognize. Having spent a life of exploring the limits trying to keep up with the big boys whether on foot, bicycles, motorcycles, cars, skis or boats, windsurfing boards, or even my career in academe, my partner through most of it recently put simple words to my essential character which seem to ring true. I am, after all, JMAMM: John meek and mild M.

While life might have been more, it most certainly could have been less,…much less.

May you fare well in your efforts to escape the gravity of your genes!
