I left the trip with a draft of his obituary that he wants me to work on with his best friend.

So then that meeting was scheduled, like really heavy, but important.

And

So simultaneously kind of, I feel bad calling it heavy, like, like very, very meaningful things.

Get home to LaGuardia at like five, get home to our apartment by six, immediately get on the Q train with my son because we have tickets on a Tuesday night, which is really unusual to go to a concert for a band that he really likes in Brooklyn.

Yeah.

I haven't slept in three nights at this point.

I mean, I put my head on the pillow, but I didn't sleep well.

So we go to Brooklyn for the concert.

We get home from that at midnight.

I wake up the next morning and I am just emotionally and physically beyond.

And I'm at a point in life now where I could just tell my kids, get your own breakfast, kids.

I'm going to go back to bed.

But I just...

I wanted to see them.

So I got up, did the thing that I told you about earlier, take the dog out.

It's one of these like weirdly warm days.

And I was like, you know what?

This is a perfect walk day.

Except I have a really important quarterly check-in with one of my anchor clients, a law firm, in like an hour and 15 minutes.
