Remember when?
We used to just go.
Someone would say,
“Hey… why don’t we go do this?”
And that was enough.
No overthinking.
No calendars.
No optimization.
Just… movement.
I heard Flea talking about this—
how back in the day, one of them would throw out an idea…
and they’d just get up and go.
One time they headed into the Sierra Nevadas
with nothing but backpacks full of candy.
That was the plan.
It reminded me of a time I dropped in on Tom Mecham in St. George—
on the way to a Blue Öyster Cult concert.
He didn’t hesitate.
Didn’t check his schedule.
Didn’t think it through.
He just got in the car.
Recently, some friends asked if I wanted to go on an adventure.
I felt the old energy rise up.
“Why not?”
Let’s go.
I’ll pack a bag of candy.
