Helping me break a funk:

1) Singing along with Ryan Adams.
2) Having 3 kids tell me today The Lion was their favorite character.
3) Talking on the phone to a good friend.
4) Incense.
5) Having some brews after the show with other cast masts.
6) Quality father-son time.

Not helping break a funk:

1) Not hearing from a friend.
2) Southern Comfort and Coke (didn't work last night).
3) Realizing it's a stupid conversation to be listening in on.
4) Not writing a song or not playing guitar.
5) Being unable to attend funeral services to say goodbye.
