Hey Dave - I'm rooting for you as a fellow 50+ year old. I could wax philosophical about why so many of us are finally doing the things in life that we should have been doing all along. Is it a gen X thing? I know I would have listened to the naysayers at 20 and quit, but at 50 i don't really care what people think, i do what I like.
Also, you were one of the funniest guys I knew. I wish I remembered the exact things you said or did that made me laugh to tears as was sat around that all night coffee shop. I'm sure it was stupid and only made sense to our small group of misfits, but here we are, 35 years and a country apart and my memories of you are filled with silly acts and uncontrollable laughter. So, it makes total sense that somewhere underneath that respectable corporate adult is the crazy funny Dave that I snuck out of the house at night just to be your audience so many years ago.
Life is funny and i have met and become fast friends with a lovely girl living in NOTL, after moving from Nashville... who also knows you as a consultant and has fond memories of working with you. She's promised that we will go on a road trip to show me the Nashville life so please save us two tickets to your Netflix show.
Your comment made my week, Steph! Thanks a million for the kind words. Yes, it would be great to see you down in Nashvegas. Drop down sometime. And tell Jess (small world!), I'm still waiting for my number one bucket list item: to meet Mr. Young to say "Thank you".
maybe if he plays in Nashville... that would make for an awesome trip! But we are not allowed to gush over him - he hates that, so you got to play it cool. Even if you are being a total fangirl on the inside.
Congratulations Dave! Every time you do this you'll learn something new. It's amazing!
Thanks, Suze. I've been enjoying it so far. Lots to learn still. ;)

I'm a total fangirl but I'll contain myself. :)
