A difficult process to even with our own reactions be able to slow down enough to wonder, to be curious about where we're being rational and where we are rationalizing. and where we're being emotional. And especially in places, and my ex-wife actually, my first wife, told me years ago to examine very closely places where I feel righteous indignation.

And that the places, the people who make me the most angry, the things that make me feel the most keenly aggravated, are places where I probably need to look at myself. first. And that practice has helped me a lot in compassion to people in difficult situations and to see where I'm getting angry at something that I'm actually really mad at myself for not being better at.

Has it been an interesting... It's been a busy year. I've just done a lot of shows. It'll be about a 100-show year for me between solo stuff and Toad. And we've been on the road. We're doing, I think, about 12 weeks total. So 60 shows with Toad, 40 solo. It hasn't felt massively creative. It's just felt like a lot of work, but it's been...

But I love playing the shows, and we did a summer tour with Barenaked Ladies and Vertical Verizon. We're doing a fall tour right now opening for Barenaked Ladies. It's been good. I'm probably at the exhausted back end of a long year of being away and just had my first—I got remarried about a year ago—year of.

Yeah, first year of marriage in a while and kids moving in and out, all my adult kids doing things and stepson turning 16. It's been a lot of life, probably less writing than I would have liked. So less of the creative part, doing some acoustic recording, getting ready for an acoustic toad record, but older material.
