If I had been born in a different time and or place I think I might have been a Blacksmith. There is something about it that attracts me, metal, fire, will and hard work all melding together to make something special and useful out of disparate parts.
Writing reminds me of it.
It is a puzzle composed of letters, words and pictures. We work hard to do more than just place the pieces. Each moment is part of an effort to do as Coach Lombardi pushed for, to chase perfection and hope to achieve excellence.

I went through a a Steely Dan phase. Now, I’m kind of bored with them.
You can still be a blacksmith.

That is the ‘risk; with listening to the same artist over and over. I have had that happen a few times.
