Praising in front of the coinstar machine is so #real…not one original experience LOL. So good Andy.

So good. Many times my wife and I scoured the center console and couch for change. I wrote a song called “Two Rivers” on my album Will Someone Carry Me -about growing up in love and adulthood with my wife in Sacramento. There’s a line in the chorus

“…Even though I don’t get paid

Till next Friday afternoon

I found some money in my room

Let’s go out, babe.”

This was written about a very clear memory of finding $20 in a jacket pocket at a time of desperation to do something, anything for a quick fast food date.

My mom didn't have a meal plan that covered weekends when she was in college. She and her roommates would scour the dorm lounge couch cushions and recycle cans so they could buy a pizza.

The public library has great couches for money. People falling asleep and coins falling out without their notice. That’s where I would fish for money. This whole little meditation is tremendous, Andy. Thank you.
