Because tomorrow the sun will rise
“And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?” -- Tom Hanks character towards the end of movie “Cast Away”
In the movie “Cast Away” Tom Hanks character is stranded alone on a deserted island for four years after a plane crash.
He tries all sorts of methods to get off the island, but nothing works.
“I had power over nothing,” his character explained to his friend. “And that’s when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope and all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that’s what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I’m back. In Memphis, talking to you.”
The “sail” was part of a port-a-potty that had somehow found its way into the ocean and drifted to the island. He used it as a sail and was able to get off the island and be spotted by a cargo ship.
While we’re not on deserted islands right now, we are in some respects stranded by a virus. We look into the future and try to figure when we’ll be rescued and that can lead us to think the worst -- it won’t be for months or years, will I still be employed, what will happen to our country in the meantime?
And so, much like the character in the movie, we have to find a way to keep going today. Find a way to focus on what we can control in this moment. Because one day our logic might be proven all wrong. Who knows what tomorrow’s tide could bring us?
Win Your Day! Steve Gilbert

1986. Mutiny
is the debut (and only) album by band Dammaj.
Hailing from San Francisco, DAMMAJ recorded their classic "Mutiny" LP in Concord, California from late 1983 into early 1984. However, sadly it did not see release until 1986 "Mutiny" was already two years old upon its release. In the mid-80's heavy metal was evolving and splintering into sub-genres at lightning speed so one would assume an album that's already two years old would have little chance of succeeding. However, here's where where Par Records earned their place in metal history.
Great guitar work with the dual flying V's and hard hitting drummer. Mick Gilbert is a guitar wiz and gives the band intensity and delivers very tasty leads. Love the spider guitar! Vocals are decent but this album is all about the guitar. So DON'T be like far too many metal-fans over the years and let this oft-overlooked masterpiece slip through your grasp. Join the small but always growing legion of DAMMAJ fans, critics, metal historians, etc., who hold "Mutiny" up as a true masterpiece of American heavy metal...To the bitter end.

Last night at O'Mainnin's I heard my friend Steve Gilbert play solo for the first time. This was the peak of his set, a song called Get Off My Dick, which we all sang along to. I actually think I can hear my voice in there from time to time, heh.
Then the Ungodly Hour Aftermath went on and Jessie knocked over chairs left and right and it was glorious. I missed that band so much while she was in Korea.
