When I was 15 and starting my first job as a messenger boy at the post office, delivering telegrams.
Driving solo across the country from New York to Washington State.
With the sun on my face and a beer in my hand, the morning after I had been in a car-jacking in South Africa.
At home with my dogs, or on the boat going waterskiing on a beautiful day in Miami. And having a hit song that connects with people.
A holiday in New York for my son Arran’s 18th.
Happy, loyal and late.
To Kill a Mockingbird.
Losing the ability to get about.
Not having the people I love around me.
