We could walk 3 minutes and be on the beach. I think the music kind of suffered because of it. It kind of smelled like Jimmy Buffett, which is a bad thing. ↗

My wife has brought great beauty into my life. And my daughter has brought me nothing but joy. Those qualities were greatly lacking. ↗

In my own defense, I wrote a one-man show, and that to me was more where I fit. ↗
