Thank you, Lucky.

Anything else, kook(s)?
Fitness? Man, I wish I had done all this years ago. I mean, I've never been obese or anything, BUT(!) ... why did I go through my thirties and forties overweight, when I could have been the sex god I am today the whole time??? Do you know what I mean? 'Mindset, Mikey.' Yeah, I suppose.
It's all mindset, dear reader(s). Most mornings I get out out of bed between five and half five. Even on weekends. That would have been alien to my old self. 'What about your music though?????????'
Yeah, yeah.
I'm making progress with my music. It may be slow progress, but it is progress. I did a bit of work on The Future last night. A couple of lines took me a couple of hours. Listen! If you have very high standards, you might find you move along the Straight Line very slowly. It's just the way it is.
Laters.
