Fail Often

One of my new favorite blogs is Fail Often.  It is written beautifully and deals with topics that push the envelope.  Once again thanks to @toddsattersten for the referral.

The title of the blog is enough reason to read it.  Fail often.  For every home run, there are many more strikeouts.  For every perfect 10, there are countless routines that fall short of perfection.  For every hit song, there are a tremendous amounts of duds.  In order to truly succeed, you need to risk horrific failure.

Plenty of cliches, all true. 

Step outside your comfort zone.  Have some bad ideas.  Fall flat on your face.

Then pick yourself back up and continue knowing that you're that much closer to success.

On the music side, Adrian and I are prepping to record some Oh Girl material in March.  We've decided that one of the first singles will be the following song that I wrote about my son Chase when he was three weeks old.  Chase is now 3 months and change, and I can't believe how much he's grown and how much I love him.
