Life's too good to be down. I lost plenty of paper profits over the last few days, and yesterday lost 2 commissions that are larger than what 90% of America makes all year, and my family had to pull the plug on my grand father.
But then I went home, read my Bible, played my guitar on the back porch with the dogs, had a beer, played with my 15 month old baby girl for a couple of hours, watched Lost re-runs with my wife on the chaise until we both fell asleep in my house at the beach. Hard not to stay optimistic.
But then again, I don't front here as a professional player. This is a game to me. I do hurt for those that this truly effected their livelihood. But I grew up on a farm. There's no free lunch in life. Just hard work and a lot of risk that God sends rain on your crops in season.
