November is here and the holidays are around the corner. Time keeps on flying by. Sometimes I wish everything could just stop. Only for a while. Maybe for a month or two. Then I could catch up on all the things I need to do, the people I need to hug, the beautiful world I need to see, the thoughts I need to think. Y’all know what I mean. It all keeps on going and going and going. And then it is gone.  

I have been living in Dallas since August with my wife. Our oldest daughter had a baby girl, and we rented a house close by to be with them as she and her husband began the incredible journey that is starting a family of their own. How is it possible that my baby girl is a mother herself? I am still a child, and my child has a child! Things just keep on moving on and I can’t make it stop. I know this is how it has always been. It was this way for my parents and their parents…and your parents too, but it still sometimes shakes me awake. Life goes fast and nobody gets a do over. So, start living and make it count. 

Speaking of somebody leaving it all on the field, how about Mick Jagger? He is 78 years old and rocking The Rolling Stones and the world as hard as he did fifty years ago. I am taking my family to see those boys tomorrow night. This will be my third time seeing them. I saw them once in my early 20s, once in my early 30s and now again at 54. I’ve got to say, I am so fired up. I can’t wait for my kids to see them. Just check out the photo Mick posted to his Instagram this afternoon in front of the Cotton Bowl. If you ever think it’s too late to be a rockstar at something, take a good look at him. Damn… I may start training for a triathlon or something.  

I digress. The market is just fine. Go hug somebody and think a deep thought or two.
