Apparently Michael Bolton was a hair-rocker in the early early 80s.

Yeah on paper that doesn't seem like a huge leap

Super positive outlook on life despite a fair amount of garden-variety challenges. Have dialed back significantly my use of a lot of "downer" behaviors these last few months (intoxicants, sugar, caffeine, TV, the internet, staying up late) and am about a million times happier for it. Have also been doing a bit of backcountry snowmobiling which is one of the funnest things I have ever experienced. Feeling pretty blessed, all things considered.

How's things by you?
Getting by. The kids are draining every cent out of us they can but it’ll be worth it. And over after June thank jeebus.
