I got word last week that a friend from college, a FANTASTIC drummer, was in the ICU, hanging onto life by a string, after suffering a cardiac arrest. This all came a month after stem cell replacement therapy due to leukemia. He is like me, late 40s, early 50s. Way too early in life to be dealing with all this - at least I’d like to think so.

He died Friday morning. 51 years old.

The lesson, one we hear more and more as we get older, take advantage of today, because tomorrow is not promised.

I usually don’t change anything after somebody I know or somebody I’m familiar with dies. Will I change this time? Who knows.

I’m trying to post more videos. Write more. Practice with more intention. Book more gigs. Eat a little better. Move more.

How long with it last? Who knows.

All we can do is try today to be better than yesterday.

’til the next thing
