You should see me at Loretta's Beignets in New Orleans.

While I don't teach art, I like to show these two drawings side-by-side that my daughter did at 4-5-years-old and 20-years-old. I only exposed her to art. She did the rest. I think the gift is the vision, focus, and persistence to become great at something.

Two people to take the Ring to Mordor?

I have a new constant companion at my side. This is all I wanted for my birthday, and the family delivered.

Joyce was the 1st writer to have a profound impact on me. I read Dubliners in 9th grade, revisiting it many of times over the years. While in Dublin, I did the Joyce walking tour.

You've inherited a movie theater, what's your first double feature?

Movie you've watched more than 6x gif, hard mode, no LoTR, Star Wars, Marvel.

It's tough.

I ticked off a handful of bucket list musicians tonight for the Wayne Shorter tribute, but Joni Mitchell with Herbie Hancock was the big surprise.

Howdy to some of my old pals. This place is a like a simulation of the old place but a lot less crazy. In case you were wondering what I've been up to, it's been working on the novel and building guitars.
