As we await our second snowpocalypse in two months here in the Washington area, I was fortunate enough to read Dr. Tom Bibey’s Stories of the Bluegrass Music Road blog this morning.  It reminded me of how your outlook affects so much in life.

My favorite story from Dr. B’s blog this morning:

I began to write in 2000.  I’ve had the same game plan since 2002; write a bluegrass based book, have it out in 2010, then travel a little with my wife for a couple years before we get too old to go.  Our goal is to meet the best people, play a lot of music, learn a bunch of new songs, and sell enough books to make the trip break even.  A buddy of mine said he toured with a bluegrass band and made it to California and back.  He had a great time and met all kinda folks.  After it was over he had ten more dollars than he started with.  He is my hero.

So I’m approaching the snowpocalypse with the idea that I’ll be in a nice warm home this weekend with plenty of time to play music, be with the family, watch the Super Bowl, and connect (electronically) with friends all over the world.  What’s so bad about that?

More to come…
