Good Health

Saddened to hear that the Piano Man has a brain disorder, and had to cancel some of his shows.

His career rise was part of my childhood and I’ve continued to enjoy his work all these years later.

He’s also a great interview, and I enjoy listening to him speak about his creative process.

Certainly hope he fully recovers.

In the same vein, I was talking with a younger co-worker who suffered a heart event.

He just turned 50 and is in good shape…

…or so he imagined!

He’s on his way to a full recovery, but with his life stretched out before him…

…”Scared the shit out of me!” He confessed.

And the health news is coming during a week when I have a doctor’s appointment scheduled - just a routine check-up.

“Why do I have to go?” I asked. “I feel fine.”

Now, I know better, but I’ve never been great at heading to the docs as often as I probably should.

Bill Burr’s latest special began with thoughts on being in the ‘Drop dead’ age group.

And that’s the problem with creeping up on retirement age.

Something is coming for all of us.

Even the Piano Man is not immune.

And it’s so cliche to talk about living every day as if it might be your last…

…but cliches are cliches for a reason.

You never know, and you aren’t promised perfect health.

Thinking I’m going to throw on ‘The Stranger’ record.

Or ‘Glass Houses’

Ah hell, I’ll listen to them all.

‘Vienna waits for you.’
