It’s important to distinguish between getting up and waking up – there may be a considerable time between the two. I don’t have any morning rituals.
I listen to all kinds of music. Music is like a big ocean. If I started fishing, there would be no end to it. I like receiving music and I listen to it because of the people I was given it by. The most recent was “The Knife”, which my son gave me.

I could give lots of advice. It’s a sign of aging, some kind of compulsion to go around offering advice.
I do, but I have this idea in my head that I’ll finish them someday.
