It's nice to sit back and, solely as an observer, admire the person you're with. Today I listened to my beaux defend his biggest dream with conviction. This is a pic of his band Funk Shui. Check them out. If you live in Portland, catch a show. They are all fine musicians deserving of far greater fame and fortune than they have received. But the lesson of today is to not give up hope. Or give up practicing. Or give up pushing.
