I am grateful for all the touchstones in life where my siblings and I converge in perfect harmony. There are quite a few; gratefully. Crystal Cove. A consistent desire to grow. Prince. All four of us are deeply appreciative of the artist known as Prince. Yeah… I’m grateful for my siblings.

I have so much to be grateful for… My brother made it into port seconds before their goal would have been missed. I’ve got another step closer to launching The Curtain Theatre podcast.
