| When
I was a professional musician living in Los Angeles, CA,
I never performed in a location where I could not sleep
in my own bed afterwards. Home is where I feel at peace.
Most of my friends love to travel. When they invite me,
I say, “Thanks a lot, but no thanks.” One
of them quipped, “Yes, I spend my money traveling
but I drive an old car. You spend your money on new cars
and don’t like to travel.” We then agreed,
“To each his own!”
