Chiefs How's everyone doing?

I'm doing a LOT better. It was really rough there for a couple of years. Covid really killed everything I've ever done to earn.

No live events for audio engineering, no live events for performing, not even a bartending gig.

I was down to working part time on a paint crew for awhile. It was pretty rough. If I hadn't paid off my house the year before the plague hit I would've been ****ed.

I've been getting a lot of steady audio work (mostly boring but lucrative corporate), gigs as a player are picking up. I keep a bar shift or two just in case as I don't trust the bottom not to fall out again, but yeah, doing better on the work front.

Most of you know my wife died very young about ten years ago of cancer. The lawyer that handled the estate really botched it, and I've finally got a good lawyer to fix it. That's expensive, but it'll be good to finally put it all to rest. It's been quite an ordeal.

And I'm getting remarried in October. My fiance is a widow as well, and has two teenagers. I missed out on having kids, unfortunately, so step-dad is a nice role and a big change.

Yeah, I'm doing ok. Thanks for asking.
