I was stuck with a stomach bug over the last few days and we have finally made it back to solid health. And it’s funny when you get over an illness, you have such a bigger appreciation for health and those days you don’t spend spewing chunks. It’s a wonderous feeling and now that I’m back at the helm of the ship, we have the chance to get back to what matters. The music. The sounds that will save us from our impending doom, or at least deter them for the present moment. Regardless I will end my babbling with this. Do good, appreciate the time you have and try to stay healthy. Have a great rest of your weekend.
