This is completely off-topic, but I wasn’t sure where else to put it. I have two very good seats including to VIP Meet and Greet tickets for The State show tomorrow night in NYC. And now there is no way I can go. A week ago I suffered a severe L4-L5 disc herniation that has made walking more than an hour extremely difficult and painful. I was hoping I could find some way to still make it but sadly it’s just not going to happen.
So, if any of you are able to go to the show tomorrow night and don’t already have tickets, I am giving these away for free. I thought maybe at least I could try to give them to people who already seem to like Michael instead of just blasting it across Twitter.
Or if you know of anyone, Michael, who wasn’t able to get tickets, please let me know. These can be transferred from the Ticketmaster app. I’ve never done this before but I imagine you must at least have an account with Ticketmaster if I am to transfer them.
It’s killing me to miss the show and if this wasn’t such a serious, debilitating condition, I would have made it happen. But if I can’t go, I would love to give these away to another fan of Michael and The State.
Someone who takes the time to tell us so clearly what he thinks the way you do will certainly step up when needed. That's where heroes come from. Maybe it won't happen to you, but I hope you'll be there when we need you.
Well, they do say the ones who would best be fit to be a leader also tend to be people who don't seek power. And maybe the implication there, is that the ones who want power the most, and see themselves as the best leaders of all, are the least fit to lead anyone. Maybe the perfect middle ground is someone who actually thinks they'd be a good leader, and happens to be right about it, which might be something we haven't seen in decades. Anyway, keep your wisdom coming, so I can blindly follow your advice with no agency!
Being the inconspicuous speck to observe sometimes for self-preservation. I remember when starting my last job (since retired) in the hospital (RN). A couple came to me frantically needing directions. It was my 1st shift and I barely knew how to get to my unit myself. I had no idea where they needed to go and not another soul around. A little part of me wanted to say I have no idea, but I found a wall phone to call the hosp operator to help them. Sometimes I want to bury my head in the sand, but then I can't. I'm no smarter than anybody else, but I keep showing up and plugging along for the ride...of life.

Wow 😮 couldn’t have said it better myself.
Your consistency with these newsletters is admirable.

Well done!
Pretty damn close to the fan.
Move away from the fan.
My adopted family is here. I will be here with them as long as I can.
And greetings from Jerusalem.
Hah !! Wonderful !
God, I agree with this.
Being alive is remarkably as complicated and difficult as it is amazing snd brief.

I was just thinking today how lucky I was to do boring tasks like cleaning cat poop and live uneventfully 😅

Leadership bears more resemblance to augury than anything taught at Wharton.
That rolls so easy off the tongue.
Indeed.
