Yesterday was tough. I think it was the first day since I started this thing that I actually thought that there was nothing joyful. It’s weird because I had that meeting that I was happy to be invited to and it went well and I went to see Billy Joel! But marriage is hard and some things just don’t work out the way you plan. Despite that, Billy Joel sang “Downeaster Alexa” and that is just one of my favorite songs. It reminds me that I was raised on Long Island, that our beaches are great, but that our waters are changing. It reminds me of the childhood that I spend on a boat with my family (good childhood memories). In the end, that was my joy.
This is my question, do people in California even know who Billy Joel is? He is a legend on Long Island but he is from here. Does the west coast glorify him as the northeast does?
