Well I know I've always been comfortable with my place in the cosmos.... how small and insignificant that place actually is but how large I am in life on this planet.
I know I also bought my first guitar in 1974 and progressed along those lines for a long time, being in a couple of few small bands and many many Jam sessions and meeting a lot of interesting people and late nights very very fun..... and I still play quite a bit, however that does not Define my life.
I just had bilateral knee replacement so I'm all set to go into the mountains and hiking, traveling..... at 57 I feel 47 and loving every minute of life. I haven't had a drop of alcohol in many years but I do like marijuana definitely for medicinal reasons and stuff like that blah blah blah but I do like to get high and have fun that's another part but that certainly does not define my life either.
My Pet's Kage and Summer definitely define me in the way that they are treated as equals in my household pretty much and would do just about anything for them so there's a definition.
My work defines me also I'm a Craftsman in the residential trades.... I have been involved in a lot of custom houses in the Sierras ....anyways enough of that... work defines everybody
