I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong
Ooooooh, just saw Joseph Arthur again. Good show. Not as good as he was at the Fine Line last fall, but still good. At the Fine Line, he maintained a sense of musical tension in the air that seemed to almost vibrate with kinetic potential, like any moment an aural dam would burst and the room would be flooded inescapably with liquid sound-and-fury. He wore a neon green suit without a shirt under the jacket and seemed born of and to the music crackling about him.
This time, at the Varsity theater, it felt more like a standard issue concert. They played songs. He wore a brown jacket over a blue shirt and he also looked to be fairly drunk. Fortunately for Joseph Arthur a standard issue concert is still pretty good.
Also, Mara horked the set list for me after the show and I have it taped to my wall. Pretty classy.
Heading home to Rochester tomorrow to attend Mary's wedding on Sunday! I'm also going to do roughly a metric crapton of laundry. But mostly I'm going home for Mary's wedding. People my age are already getting married. Should I be feeling old at 21?

Absolutely not. Eliminate that thought from your mind.
However if I had to do it all over again: finish college at 22, take a year off to travel and network, then get a career going, be married and having kids by 26.
By the time you get to my age, (46 or so), the kids are out of the house doing what you're doing. And you have quite a bit of good life ahead of you although you may be feeling a little tired and creaky.
Peace.
