Hi Midnite,

In the last 24 hours..off the top of my head

A total stranger, a nice looking woman in her forties, gave me a big smile and said "hi" this morning, on my way to the store.

My roommate, realizing I've got a bad cold, gave me some cough drops, and told me how much he enjoyed a movie "The Lobster" I recommended to him.

Another friend emailed me a fun email that mentioned Joni Mitchell and we had a nice exchange about "The Hissing Of Summer Lawns" and that era of Joni..

My cousin sent me several pictures of my dad when he was really young, and I had never seen any pictures of him any younger than his early twenties.

I listened to Marc Maron interview Werner Herzog ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hKcV6UXENA ) who talked about Klaus Kinski's perfectionism and his new documentary about the Internet, in which he describes a scene where a bunch of Zen Monks in Tibet were Tweeting and Facebooking on their mobile devices..this interview gave me several smiles.

--As did finishing up a couple Netflix series' "Stranger Things" and "Lady Dynamite" --and I've been sick since Wednesday, so I didn't feel any guilt about taking it easy. In fact, I think it was a mini epiphany when I realized that the world would not come to an end if I didn't work on music demos for one day, while sick. This really made me smile big time--a rare moment where I was generously kind to myself!

Mike
