Chas get well soon.
Donny great philosophy. That's the way I try to live. In the late 90s I gave up a lucrative sales job to pursue my hobby with computers. I will admit I was in the right time at the right place RJR was offering an early retirement package. The tobacco business was going up in smoke
and I was still young enough to do something else with my life. I went back to college for another degree this time in the tech field. For the last 10 years I've been working a job that used to be a hobby. 4 years ago I started gigging and music had been another hobby. Granted I don't have the musical skills that many of the pros who visit this site have, but I'm having the time of my life playing a few gigs every month. I'm up at 5 everyday to read the newspaper, then off to work, 3 days a week during lunch I hit the gym. After dinner each night some time with the family then at 9 PM I sit at the keyboard and many nights it's close to midnight before I call it a day. Me? I'm living everyday like it's my last.....and I try hard not to get the "poor me." blues either that sometime can slip into our lives ( sorry for the soapbox routine
)
