Good-Time Charlie

"People just see him as a good-time Charlie, which he is." - Dusty Baker, about Bronson Arroyo

The lanky Arroyo is a successful major-league baseball pitcher. But that's not what defines him. He's also a stringy-haired raspy-voiced rock singer in his own band.

I think that people who have multiple interests in life find more emotional stability. It's like a financial hedge of risk - when one aspect of life is flagging, others can step up winningly.

It's a thought worth harboring when out among the occasional choppy waters of the day. No matter what, it's been a pretty good day.
