Lyle Lovett & The Warriors

I was in the process of writing a more serious post but that will have to wait for next week. Instead I am taking a moment to talk about the exciting week I am experiencing. In a world that seems so dire, conflicted and just down right miserable it is important to acknowledge the things that bring a smile to your face. Of course there is love and family which are paramount but this week for me is filled with events that will not actually make the world a better place but they definitely are making my week a better experience.

First, my beloved Warriors won the NBA Championship for the fourth time in eight years. The story lines are incredible from a “small” guard that literally has changed the way other teams play the game —- a former number one draft pick that people had forgotten about —- a coach that isn’t afraid to use his celebrity to call out in justice and the cowardice of our elected officials —- this is a wonderful story.

I have seen him perform in NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Aspen and now Napa. Lyle Lovett is one of the most gifted musicians of our day. I have taken myself to Napa to enjoy his amazing music.

Finally, I have five beautiful children. This is about my two boys. My eldest took me to a fabulous dinner at Spruce in San Francisco for Father’s Day. This Friday my youngest is taking me to the 5th game of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals in Denver where we hope to watch the Colorado Avalanche win The Cup!!

There is a lot of bad shit going down in the world but for this fortunate man it is a very good week. There are a few empty spots I would like to fill but c’mon man this week is a blessing.

Love to all.

With gratitude.!!!
