Freewrite Day 495 Saxophone

I used to work for a guy that played the saxophone in clubs at night. The license plate on his car read “saxxy” He was one of two partners in an answering service business, and that was where I worked for him.

He was from New Jersey and was in the mold of Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett. He was very short, and very charming, and always on the move for something. He had a beautiful tall girlfriend who towered over him and they were completely in love.

The answering service was open 24/7/365 and took calls for people like doctors or religious people that might need to get a call but did not want to answer them directly. It was always on the brink of closing and we actually got padlocked by the IRS during the time I worked there. That was an exciting day.

My sax player boss took it all in stride. He told me that as a musician in clubs he has seen it all and nothing really mattered in the end.

“You can always start over. Gigs are everywhere.”

I was young when I worked there and his words made an impression on me. I was already a nomad, and agreed you could live your life where ever you end up.

I thought he was really old at the time, and now I am older than he was. And it is true – gigs are everywhere. It's just a matter of deciding which one is yours.

My post is for the #freewrite daily challenge by @mariannewest. Freewrite is a great way to post on steemit when you do not think you have the time, or talent, or anything to say.

Statistics say that only 5% of people with health resolutions for the New Year will still be on track after Super Bowl Sunday. Is your fitness equipment still out handy, and are you still on a "diet?"
