y'all knew I was gonna post here for the day...

So early this morning there was a thunderstorm. Given the timing of today combined with Jerry's most famous character, I have a feeling it was his doing. Given that I've been having a bit of a rough spot lately about rapidly going nowhere in my life and career, it felt like a gentle nudge from him. "Keep going. It's all gonna be worth it." And that along with listening to Jerry's songs on the site radio must have given me the boost I needed to finish the script for the third episode of a four-episode short-format limited series for a local TV channel I've been working on for a few months.

Thank you, Jerry.
