Unusual? Boy, you’re telling me! I’m chomping at the bit to watch the newest DC rumor videos, but I’m pecking out a little something instead. Not sure which will be the better outcome.

Six weeks ago – at least I think it was six weeks ago – I gave my thirteen year old granddaughter her first guitar. Like me, she loves to sing and perform, but couldn’t find a place to do so that wasn’t karaoke. I figured learning guitar would give her something to focus on besides idiotic teenage school drama.

She’s made some incredible progress and has already gained access to a weekly stage if she wants it.

I dont believe I’d had the nerve to do something like that when I was thirteen. It comes down to role models, and I hear she thinks I’m pretty special. Who knows? Maybe I’m not the one who writes the song that saves the world. Maybe it’s her. That’d be cool, because I’m tired.
