Ambition Has Always Been So Overrated

 



Oh, I live a lazy man's life. Folks back home ask if I've retired. From what? I haven't played since  a house concert in Tampa, next to last visit. I picked up a guitar this morning. Felt about as familiar as if I had fondled an oboe.

Now, for whatever reason, I'm thinking about writing a book. Actually, I've had this story idea for several years- I've just run out of excuses to keep from writing.

Of course I'm aware that selling a book, never a walk in the park, is close to impossible these days. Do you suppose that people read? 

Maybe if I keep right still, this, too, will pass.

Why would anybody mess with paradise?
