Congrats proud papa!

I envy people that can remember their dreams so vividly. Is that normal for you? It only happens for me occasionally, when I have one of those super, realistic dreams where you wake up and it takes a second to remember where you are.

In one of my favorite TED talks the speaker’s new manager, asks, “What’s your WIF?”

The speaker is like, “what the fuck do you mean, what’s my WIF?!”

The manager was asking, “Was what was her well intention failure.”

Congrats to Soleil and your family! As for the crying, I could not make it through my speech at Norah’s senior luncheon. Those tears kept going until graduation 4 days later. The dad struggle is real.

I used to write all kinds of junk songs to come up with a couple good ones. Same with visual art. I got to make some good stuff because I wasn't afraid to make junk I didn't need to show to anyone and no one should have went looking for. Whereas, my ex husband, while a talented instrumentalist and recording engineer couldn't write songs because of too much perfectionism. I'm sure the criminals stealing my intellectual property can't write either. I hope one day for an organization who can investigate this.

Need a good read tonight- thanks so much for everything.

Usually listening to random playlists riddled with Rhett and Old-97s songs- the combo together is a tutorial on my emotions that I am unaware of- again- sincere thanks

That is epic. I completely wish you could’ve given the address. My youngest graduated too this year and it is definitely weird. Thanks, Rhett. ❤️
