I've been making friends with a homeless man named Mike over the past several days. We met at the laundromat.

He gave this pick to me as a gift this morning.

We bonded today over the fact that we both used to work at The Queen Mary in Long Beach for a while.

He is a very sweet man. He likes to smoke pot and drink. He keeps trying to offer me some weed. I decline.

He offered me this guitar pick this morning, and some good conversation and I was happy to have both of those. In actuality, this is one of my favorite types of guitar picks. I used these for years. The exact gauge: .73mm Today, I am playing some music at the Holiday Inn later tonight. I will use this pick. Thank you so much Mike.

I hope today finds you all smiling and well.
