This is Murph at his best. I laughed out loud enough that my wife asked what I was reading. Then by the end felt like I left with a life lesson or three. Incredible.

Much more of a podcast listener than article reader. I accidentally opened this in my email and, wow! Incredible writing and fun story.

I know people expect to get inside information all the time and I joined for that too but that was the most refreshing, enjoyable thing I've read in 2 years...Thanks!

Great article Murph! Sounds like you were on Tatooine, visiting a watering hole in Mos Eisley! I lived in LA for a few years... a magical place with a definite dark side...
