“Torn between the unknown
And the place that you call home
And the life you want but have never known

There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
Leave it all behind
There was a time
That time has gone”

- Uncle Tupelo

Lot of songs out there about regret and opportunities gone by. No songs out there that I know of about playing it safe. Just gotta close your eyes and jump sometimes. As smart as you are Dusty, I’m frankly suprised you hadn’t done this sooner. All the luck in the world, bro!

Duster, remember…you never leave your wingman. And when in doubt you’re probably too close for missiles so switch to guns.

Fuckin’ A. That is really ballsie (ballsy? Ball-sy oh forget it). Not having teeny mouths running around demanding food certainly makes that decision a little easier. Yes that’s partly a lame excuse for why I don’t do it. Plus I’m chicken-shit. And I like being warm in winter. Still – Good Luck, although luck has not much to do with it.

I know I’m about 4 days late here, but that’s the best blog I’ve read in some time. Way to go , dude. Makes me wanna set my tie on fire and take my band on tour…go broke that way. Hey, if all your readers send you,like $5/10 month, you’d be ok, right? I’d send it to ya it just to say I did. Seems fair, all the free entertainment you ‘ve provided…Just a thought….

I think I’ve read everything you’ve posted online and there was never any doubt in my mind that you would make this decision.

For years you’ve been writing about your parents and have paid special tribute to your Dad. You’ve placed him in the ranks of all that is great. You’ve talked about following in his footsteps, and you’re doing just that. I think that anytime you ever feel that this may not have been the best course to take, just think of him, give him a call or go back and read a few of your older posts and I’m sure that after the tears dry, you’ll realize that there was only one choice to make and it’s the one that you made. Congratulations to you for being a man.

Good for you. That’s how my wife and I ended up in Asheville…we made a decision and then made it happen. All of our friends in Atlanta said things like, “I wish we could do that…” You could if you had any imagination and some balls…. Once again, good for you.

Congratulations, Dusty. The Houston skyline is amazing from my office, but I bet it looks better from the air. I wish you the best of luck with this. Gives those of us with less courage something to strive for.
