Love the reduction and the music! Another great one! We are also a family of few rules. The first rule is we are. whole-ass family, not a half-ass family (aways give your best effort). The other rules are borrowed from Willie Nelson.

What a gem this piece is. And yes - the effect of staring out a car window daydreaming - and random places, signs, people , all images sparking thought, questions imagination. Floating in your head.

Boys…. We are such silly billys! I must confess, I have never met a Patris in my life, and I’m not sure of the pronunciation myself, but your brothers insistence on it will keep you both young for life! See, I just had to defend the boy! We never grow up!👊

You’re absolutely right Kevin! - and lucky for him I grew up liking him and rascals like him. Though we live on separate coasts we laugh our heads off whenever we connect. And our kids are as close as siblings.

That is so good to hear. Family is all. You all should take to the road sometime. Give him a couple of unexpected right hooks to the arm!

This entire piece is just wonderfully woven together. The art, the music, the little glimpses into the family life, the wonder to be had in the seemingly mundane. Brilliant, Jonathan. Thanks for sharing.👏✍️
