I have diabetes, but I celebrated with a small chocolate milkshake after my gig today. I feel a little crappy right now, but I'm most definitely smiling.
I consider myself to be a fairly fortunate fellow.

Thirty-Two Seasons Completed, Baby!
I just completed thirty-two years in my orchestra and quintet. However, I also just completed forty years of making music for a living.

Re: Thirty-Two Seasons Completed, Baby!
Bravo. Continue to check off more and more - as long as they are fun.
I plan to do something productive as long as I can, and - if I no longer can - I'm sort of hoping it I'll no longer be around. (Maybe that's a weird attitude, but it makes sense to me.)
