Bach219!
I have been called, "crazy," "freak," "nut," and worse! That's cool! Last night I found out that one of my buddies did call me a bit of a freak in a conversation. Knowing this guy, and considering how long we've been friends, I know he meant that in the best of ways. (????)
There's an old teacher joke that goes around. "Hey some kid wrote on the wall that Mr. D was a "son-of-a-####. That's great! He showed respect! He called me 'Mr.!'"
This nutty stuff works for me, but I don't obsess over it. If I find that part of my routine has to fall by the wayside on one day or another due to busy schedules, I don't sweat it. I'm not going to forget how to play in a day.
Peace!
Nick
