Hi all. Say hello? Hello. Hello. Hello lighthouse.

My loves

Hi.

Say hello? Especially if you’re new.

It’s almost midnight on a Monday and the kid is in bed and I had one of those days that sent me gazing into the abyss, including a one-hour hunt for my laptop…I thought I’d lost my fucking mind.

I really did think I was going crazy. I knew my Mac was in my bedroom. On the dresser.

Was I crazy?

Nope. I’m not the one that’s crazy.

My child had hidden it in his bed. I confronted him after school and even though he couldn’t access it (it’s passworded), he still thought stealing it before school and stuffing it under his alligators and bears was a GOOD IDEA. Why? I. don’t. Know.

Also…well. I mean, there’s a lot of also.

I’m struggling but feeling very weirdly robust inside. Those years alone in New Zealand made me a quieter warrior with a fuck ton more patience. And better boundaries.

A lot of people joined the patreon tonight.

If you’re new here…welcome.

Feel at home, please. It’s a good, warm place here, a respite off the main, loud channels of the internet. The community is wonderful.

Some housekeeping.

Tomorrow (Sept 10th) I’ve got a livestream just for patrons at 12pm-2pm EST….i will be live in a recording studio in Cambridge and I’ll be playing some comforting old and some comforting new songs and taking questions from all of you, and I have a special guest. All of these streams get archived for the patrons. 🙂

You can access/watch/chat here: https://www.crowdcast.io/c/livefromthebridge

Go shred and leave or upvote a question.

And if you’re a new $5 patron, there’s a nice drop of photos from a few days ago as I was knee-deep in cleaning: https://www.patreon.com/posts/111637399?utm_campaign=postshare_creator

This above stream is free to ALL patrons, including the unpaid ones. I don’t always do it that way. This time, I am.

On Thursday there’s a smaller Q&A for the $10 tier. Come join. https://www.crowdcast.io/c/sept12thchattychat

…….

Generally? This is a nice, safe space to unload your thoughts and self.

You’re not on Facebook, ye shall not be judged. Say hello, tell us where you’re from, tell us a story and make a friend. New and old…comment away.

I’m here, reading.

I’m very grateful to all of you for your patronage, as always.

Let’s keep this a nice slice of the internet.

♥️♥️

See many of you tomorrow at the stream.

And as usual, I love me a lighthouse.

Someone (well, Erika) just sent me this one, from Sleepy Hollow, NY, right near where I’m gonna be playing in October. Maybe we need a field trip. I’m not kidding. Shall we??
