I am about to enjoy a beautiful day with my wife of 39 years. We are going to take a time machine back when we were young living in Travis Heights with an infant and a newborn. A time long ago when a good baby sitter you could trust with your young children was more valuable than your car for parental freedom. We used to go see a lot of music, and today is a day to rekindle that.
We are going to go down to South Congress and drift between music venues, grab some food, I'll have a few drinks, and just generally have a damn good day. Might even run into some old friends. Or perhaps even make some new ones!
Each day is yours to own. And while many things you cannot control, there are so many things you can control that can make each day of yours, AND someone elses better. Just be nice! Be as nice as you can, to everyone you meet. Especially folks in subservient positions. The funniest thing about being nice, is it tends to make so very many more days "good days in the world." You never know what tomorrow holds, so take control of today. So today I am going to go spread goodwill in the world! Unless you fucking step in front of me right as the headliner comes on. Then I will be like Patrick Swayze in road house, you be nice until it's time to be nice.
But a beautiful day to see live music in Austin outdoors with a loved one, or a new friend. Have a great day all of you!
