Let’s give it up, y’all, for my old friend and faithful Lo Zoner (who holds it down even when I’m not here)…
Even though you may be holding a nut in that picture, you’re often the voice of reason and insight among us. The Lo Zone ain’t The Lo Zone without you up in this piece.
…Bill Hobi.
Like Rich, Bill is one of the coolest, smartest, most loyal people you’ll ever meet in your life, a true Renaissance man who cheers me on when I write, cheers me up when I’m sick, and shares my passion and appreciation for music (Rich, you’d really click with Bill on the music tip; heck, on the financial tip, too. As a Senior VP of Wealth Management for Merrill Lynch, he knows a thing or multi-million about the subject). I miss him to pieces because I’ve been so busy all year, we haven’t had a chance to get up at all, which is tough after we spent a good chunk of 2005 hanging out all the time. But he knows my heart and he’s one of my favorite people in life. I just love, love, love him. And I love, love, love Rich. I guess there’s something about those Sag men.
It’s a full moon, tonight. Get out there and do your thang. This song’s for the both of you, truly noble and great men. Real Romantic Warriors. (Click the words below to listen.)
The Lo Zone
