Do I really have the honor to be the first to like this here? Your essay has everything (even a live proof of this moment on stage) – it’s the hooray to "the default yes." Yes!

You had it in you, didn’t you. 👏🏻

Thanks so much! It was especially fun to write the story of Guthrie encouraging me, from memory, then being able to watch the video of that discussion and see the consistency :)

Maybe my favorite piece you have written! Glad you played the whole thing AND shared the video!

'Fight aging by learning and doing new things' is my new mantra. In the past few weeks my daughter (who wants to design Formula 1 cars) and I did my first 'wrenching' ever. Replaced the struts and a ECT sensor on her car and started replacing the brakes on her brothers car (had to be bailed out by a real mechanic on that one). Totally new stuff!

Like cars and music, anything manual and mechanical has endless new levels to explore. I envision you both finding a broken down Mustang in a barn somewhere and rebuilding it.
