I don't talk very well, but hopefully in my music we
can get something across.

Dan Roberts, Bryan Kennedy, and I dedicate one morning a year to a "sunrise ride." On my horse,
Crackerjack, in the middle of two good friends, I was watching the sun come up over the hay fields
when Dan's voice broke the silence. He asked me if I knew the difference between grace and mercy. A
smile came across Bryan's face. Dan said, "Grace is when God gives us what we don't deserve and
mercy is when God doesn't give us what we do deserve . . ." It made me think-that pretty much wraps
up my whole life.
God's grace and mercy on us all
--Garth Brooks, from Garth Brooks Box Set book

My life right now is where I've always wished it would be.
The heavenly bodies have aligned. . . . This is just another
piece of pie I don't deserve--but I'll eat it anyway.

You are rich if and only if money you refuse tastes better than money you accept.
-- Nasim Nicholas Taleb

*profanity spoiler*


It was hard to tell my friends, all hurt in some manner by the [stock market] crash, about this feeling of vindication. Bonuses at the time were a fraction of what they are today, but if my employer, First Boston, and the financial system survived until year-end, I would get the equivalent of a fellowship. This is sometimes called "fuck you money," which in spite of its coarseness, means that it allows you to act like a Victorian gentleman, free from slavery. It is a psychological buffer: the capital is not so large as to make you spoiled-rich, but large enough to give you the freedom to choose a new occupation without excessive consideration of the financial rewards. It shields you from prostituting your mind and frees you from outside authority--any outside authority. (Independence is person-specific: I have always been taken aback at they high number of people in whom an astonishingly high income led to additional sycophancy as they became more dependent on their clients and employers and more addicted to making even more money.) While not substantial by some standards, it literally cured me of all financial ambition--it made me feel ashamed whenever I diverted time away from study for the pursuit of material wealth. Note that the designation fuck you corresponds to the exhilarating ability to pronounce that compact phrase before hanging up the phone.

Meeting here, I have "friends in low places"!

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
--Garth Brooks, "Unanswered Prayers"

God has not always answered my prayers. If he had,
I would have married the wrong man--several times!

Every time I sing this song [Unanswered Prayers], it
teaches me the same lesson: Happiness isn't getting
what you want, it is wanting what you've got.
