My dad’s going to be ok. The triple bypass surgery was a success. Long recovery ahead. It’s going to be a quiet winter of reflection.
My dad is getting open heart surgery on Monday, so I’m leaving tomorrow to go see him before the surgery.
I’m turning 39 in December and I gotta say that so far a helluva lot more shit gets thrown my way in middle age than it did in my youth. But I also feel a lot more capable to deal with the shit than I did when I was younger. So I guess it all evens out.

We hardly talked
I never thought I would forget this hate
Then a phone call made me realize I’m wrong ”

Thanks, Steve.
Posting designs like this one makes me paranoid, because I can’t shake the feeling that it’s not original. I enjoyed the process regardless, but please let me know if somebody else beat me to the idea!
Thoughts?
Well, I’ve changed the course of music five or six times. What have you done except fuck the president?
