Mike I can't thank you enough for this brilliant piece of writing. I have heard that line before - you are the average of the 5 people you hang out with - and it has always bothered me. Partly because I don't have 5 people I hang out with regularly, but also because I have friends not unlike Mike and Jay. I'm quite moved by the whole piece in truth. You have managed to express what i didn't know i knew - that they are warriors and artists and quite possibly their acts may just be the only sane statement in a truly insane world. I admire truth and fearlessness. I admire you. A🙏💚
