It took me a very long time to listen to my mom ... long after I first became a grown son.

So well written, Will. I know I'm a week behind, but this newsletter really was spot on. I too though life was supposed to get easier the older I got... No way at all. Make the best out of it.

Keep up the great work, it's greatly appreciated.

Kurt Cobain once said, "as a musician, I knew I'd made it when Weird Al covered one of my songs."
